ARTISTS STATEMENT:� My art is the expression of my spirit to the spirit of others that connect with it.�I seek to create a memory, a wish, a fantasy or moment of joy or peace in the soul of the viewer.� I pursue Ideas, color combinations or images that attract my attention in the abstract;� or as an impression; and some paintings are just for the fun of presenting something in an unusual manner.�
