When I feel inspired to paint a subject, I challenge myself to add something "extra" to the finished piece—something that touches the viewer on a deeper level. I've had people comment that I think too deeply, and that others might prefer to keep things "light."

​

That's perfectly fine, and there's certainly plenty of demand for that in the world.

​

I'm just not built that way. I've always viewed the world in a surreal manner, whether it's the brilliant array of colors, the wonders of nature, or the divine beauty found in the smallest details. My hope is that people will always appreciate this beauty, even amidst the chaos.
