Statement I have always loved the creative process, currently including painting in oils, pastels and watercolor. In my artwork, I try to convey my deep appreciation of the natural world. I hope my paintings share the excitement I feel outdoors and the exuberance of creative activity.
On my best
painting days, I
lose track of time and get into the flow of what I am doing, then look
up and
discover that I have been painting all day.
My favorite subjects are landscapes, often small paintings
painted plein
air or larger paintings painted from my plein air studies.
I love the richness and depth of oil on
canvas and I also love the fluidity and delicacy of
watercolor on paper. I have recently added pastels to my repertoire and I'm becoming comfortable with them. If
I can give the viewer a magical view of a
special place and time of day, my art has fulfilled its purpose. | ![]() |
