Influences: My primary artistic influences have been Robert Tracy, David Leffel, and Robert Vickrey. I am also inspired by the fantastical worlds of Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky).
Style: I follow my sense of life. I paint or draw subjects that appeal to me on a very personal level. Each subject often calls for its own stylistic approach. Some pieces call for soft realism and chiaroscuro, others demand painterly expressions of color and movement. I pay attention to the theme and pulse of the work, and I paint.
