ART RESUME     –  

I paint for the pure joy of painting and because of my fascination with the beauty and variety of nature, color, and, although it may sound unrelated, my love of music.  I do not constrict my subjects to only one field and, paint people, animals, landscapes, buildings, flowers, and musical instruments.  Regarding the latter, I am frequently asked why I like to paint musical instruments, and all I can think is that I have such an intense passion for both music and art that, for me, they actually become intermingled and this is the only way I can express this feeling.  Also because I get to create my own ideal world, full of music, such as when I mix nature and music as in my “Music in the Woods” painting, or where I just want to express music as a celebration on its own, such as in my “Crescendo” series.
