"Art is an adventure for me. I may begin with an inspired idea of combining a couple of images and end up climbing my mind's mountain to a place I've never been before. I try to follow an honest path, true to myself and my feelings. Often I am surprised by the value of following my intuition and a seemingly naive direction in the action of doing art. I seek, nurture and respect the essence of myself.

These images evolve from memories, objects of affection and curiosity, ambiguous forms, sensual shapes, great textures and rich color, sad and beautiful thoughts, images, sounds, and often images of objects that justify themselves for having only caught my eye. There are no secrets here I would not share with you."
