The focus of my work is humanity, painting positive and heroic images of human relationships.  My vision is all inclusive, people of all races, colors and creeds are represented in a manner meant to inspire and empower the viewer and fill them with hope.  I believe in an individual's ability to overcome adversity and make a meaningful life for ones self.  My paintings reflect this belief.  I hope this pastoral scene will refresh and restore the spirit of those who must come here.
