 I'm a self-taught artist. I began painting in oils around the age of twelve. Although I describe myself as a surrealist, mostly for lack of a better definition, my work doesn't seem to fit completely into any particular genre. The paintings I create have no meaning in a rational context. They are derived from the intuitive and are more an emotive than intellectual expression ranging from eroticism to whimsy and the macabre to the sublime. I agree with Magritte that an artist's work should "evoke a sense of mystery" and feel that the best advice ever given to an artist was impresario Sergei Diaghilev's command to Jean Cocteau "Astonish me"
