My favorite past time is reading and enjoying a book that holds my attention. It seems we all have a special chair and my preferred sitting area in my house is a corner in the magenta room, hence the inspiration for this painting.

Artist's Statement:

As an artist my work leans towards figurative art, and in some cases, it can be categorized as abstract realism or impressionism. I attribute this to my spontaneous depiction of the subject matter that to the passing eyes may only record a blur. My objective is to capture these fleeting moments for others to witness and enjoy.

I believe art should not only be decorative but also tell a story…to educate and stimulate the viewer. The spectator should never stop learning with unexpected wonder and enjoyment.
