"It is beauty from life that I try to convey. I may find it in a certain form, color, or mood, and I attempt to translate that beauty with each brushstroke. I would describe my style as having elements of impressionism—such as loose brushwork and a vibrant palette—combined with elements of realism, as I like to capture an individual's true appearance and personality in my portraiture."
