"Inspiration comes after I begin, I don't wait for it, I begin and the spirit finds me. It is like stepping onto an invisible bridge in the manner of Indiana Jones. I see the bridge in my heart and mind's eye and I take a step into the unknown. We call it magic when a magician waves his hand and a dove appears. In the artist's studio, the painter moves his brush and a whole world appears. When I'm at the easel I feel like a combination of magician and conductor, I conduct and connect the dots of light.

I love to paint in styles that range from classical realism, impressionism, pointillism and paintings done en Plein-air. I often put surprises and symbols in my work that collectors enjoy discovering."
