A lot of my paintings are of different places around the world. I paint what touches me, what I fall in love with. I work in oil, pastel and watercolor because I see future paintings in different media depending on what I am going to paint. I see New York and Jerualem as pastel, and beautiful Florida in oil. If you look at my art you will see how much I like what I am doing. I hope you will fall in love with my subjects also!
