To fall asleep and Dream...



I use paint to tell meaningful stories with images. When I paint these images I use color to portray feeling, such as the changing light of day and the moods it creates. Additionally, I use symbolic subjects to express common themes significant to all individuals. For example, the stray dog paintings are about more than just a stray dog. These paintings represent any individual that at one time struggled and then prevailed.
The dog is all of us.
