What is your favorite medium?
“I mostly work with acrylic on canvas. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with clay.”

What do you want people to take away from your art?

“I hope that people are touched by my work.  A lot of my work is beach scenes – and eople love coming up here to the beach. I hope that they’re touched in the same way that I am with peace and serenity when they look at my painting.”
