Objective
I begin my journey into my canvas with an excitement that is new and always fulfilling. I paint in the Classical
technique to preserve that which may be lost. It is my love of painting which keeps that excitement alive—it is
the joy of sharing my work with others which makes my blood flow and it is teaching that is a way of “paying it
forward” to others who may find the joy too.
