My signature work of intense liquid colored canvases has given me a much higher level of true artistic freedom and enlightenment than merely capturing an  image.

The translucent multilayered light-filled paintings of my veil technique can only be created through the use of copious quantities of the highest grade paint, each layered on the canvas with precise timing and technique in a total engagement with the canvas. The result produces shimmering, radiant images that are emotionally stirring and sensuously addictive.

Color relationships in a painting can be very powerful and my canvases filled with flowing gem-like veils of intense opulent color are created to provide a provocative, harmonic experience in order to engage and enrich the human spirit.
