Nature has become my muse where colors and texture play a major part in my  paintings.

Everyday, nature's phenomena reflects back to us its beauty in magical and intense images.

My work is a celebration and an expression of nature's gifts to us.

I love what Rembrandt said, "Choose only one master – Nature."
