ARTIST STATEMENT
What I most enjoy about paintings is that they serve to bridge the gap between the minds of the artist and the viewer.

In doing so, they give us a glimpse into worlds we could not have imagined on our own. I paint to communicate what’s

on my mind, in a way so other’s can see what I imagine, and how I perceive the world. Generations from now,

my paintings will offer a glimpse into the past.

the artist's uncle, William F. Buckley, Jr.,

the renowned New York Times art critic,

Hilton Kramer, US Appellate Judges, economic

tycoons, and other celebrities. 

   "What is best about portraits is that they are

a lasting stamp of our short existence on earth.

They say, I was loved enough to be painted. 

I looked like this.”
