“Before beginning any piece, I take a moment to realize exactly what it is about the subject that initially caught my eye or stirred an emotion. Only then do I decide how to fill the canvas and bring it to life in my unique way. I invite you to experience the positive emotions these images can hold.”

ARTIST STATEMENT
“My goal is to make paintings that engage you and applaud the beauty in our universe.

Traditionally trained in both painting and photography, I translate the landscape and the cosmos into scenes that focus on strong composition, bold color, texture and interest. You could call my style expressive realism with a slat towards abstraction.

I work from a combination of plein air, memory and multiple photos to create an image that captures the attributes that initially caught my attention.  I use a brush, palette knife, sponges, rags, fingers, sticks and other assorted tools to apply medium, paint, glass, semi-precious metals and stones, and other special materials. Paintings are created in a variety of sizes in both oil and acrylic on either panel or canvas.

Before calling a painting finished, it first needs to be technically sound and most importantly it needs to engage you, the viewer.  Questions I ask myself about it are; is it something you want to keep looking at, is it a place you want to be, does it keep you wondering, and most importantly, are you somehow engaged?”
