Artist Statement

Although it is clear that most artists are concerned with capturing a moment, for me, painting is an expression in progress through which the moment is discovered. I believe my paintings express perceptions of the vibrant colors and shapes of nature relative to my life and spiritual experiences. Outdoor motifs, whether all natural or accentuated by man, provide especially strong motivation and inspiration. I hope my work reflects deep love of light and color and my delight the dancing interplay of brightness and shadow brings as the painting emerges on the canvas.
