believe to appreciate art is to appreciate the vision - the will to create something beautiful from an innate spirit to inspire all who experience it. Not only focusing on the form and action of the painting, I want the viewer to acknowledge the reaction - the overwhelming sense of being consumed by what they are viewing. Evoking terror, intimacy, sympathy, joy, sadness, humility, depicting emotion in its purest state, untouched and frozen is the ultimate endeavor.
