Rooted in classical expression, my paintings also look to the future. They gaze out upon the world we live in, but also inward, to the worlds we only see in our dreams, memories, and imagination.

Thanks so much. My key to shadows is not to think of them as grey or even as "dark" necessarily. Drop some unexpected warm colors in - You'll be pleasantly surprised.
