Beauty is defined as a quality or combination of qualities that gives pleasure to the mind or senses and is often associated with properties such as harmony of form or color, proportion, authenticity, and originality.

 

Beauty has the power to capture us in a timeless moment, and can be found in the way light filters through a canopy of trees, or in the simplicity of a cup and saucer.

 

Or in a masterpiece at the Louvre.

 

Or in an expression on the face of a loved one.

 

Or a single flower in a vase.

 

A painting is like a prayer; it is a transcendent connection between the artist and the viewer. My art is an attempt to lay aside every weight, and run with endurance towards beauty.

 

I paint primarily in oils, and love to integrate visible brushstrokes and markmaking using various methods. My heart goes into each painting.

 

My paintings are not perfect, but they are an authentically me… just an artist on a journey.

 

Beauty is worth seeking.
