"My art has been inspired by the great American art forms of Jazz and Blues music. Through my abstract expressionist style of painting I have attempted to get the feeling and movement of jazz and blues unto the canvas.

Every one hears music differently. The way we perceive it is shaped by our tastes, emotions, situations and personalities. I have attempted to have music take on physical colors as it traveled through air. My canvas is the manuscript which the notes are painted.

My ideal vision is to create a world in colors as Thelonious Monk created in a world in sound."
