Artist Statement

<i>"The richness I achieve<br /> comes from Nature,<br /> the source of my inspiration…"</i> <cite>Claude Monet</cite>

"The richness I achieve
comes from Nature,
the source of my inspiration…"
Claude Monet

Since my memories began, what I wanted more than anything in life, was a horse. As an Artist, this devotion drives me and is my inspiration, which speaks to the soul of the horse lover.

My art is highly detailed as if you could touch the softness of their nose and feel the warm breath softly blowing a welcome. I seek to convey the profound beauty of each individual animal I paint.
