Artist Statement

My professional life included various marketing and managerial positions in the Advertising and Automotive industries. Throughout my corporate career I continued my artistic pursuits by attending various UCLA extension courses alongside private tutoring. This exposure enabled me to expand both my knowledge of art history as well as my technical understanding.

I am inspired and influenced by the works of John Singer Sargent, Tamara De Lempicka. Vincent Van Gogh and Pierre Auguste Renoir. Sargent for his integration of both an abandoned looseness alongside technical exactness. His complexity of color within finite areas is masterful. De Lempicka for her daring of angular dissection and integration of industry and fashion. Van Gogh for his exploration through multiple journeys shows a bravery to be admired. Renoir for his brilliance in light and dark.
