The beauty of nature inspires me, so I paint mostly landscapes and close-ups of different aspects of nature, such as flowers or tree limbs. Althoug I can produce realistic paintings and drawings, I generally prefer to leave some detail to the imagination of the viewer. With my art, I hope to capture the emotions of a scene, and details are not always the best way to achieve this. I try to add emotion through color, and my work tends to be impressionistic or somewhat abstract.
