Artist Statement

My artwork is inspired by a love of nature and experiences in the outdoors. Each encounter with the beauty of the landscape and the animals within gives me a sense of connection and order, and I look for ways to express this relationship on canvas.

I work mainly in oil with a combination of brush, palette knife,or whatever I can find to create the layers of texture and mood in the painting. My subjects are what inspire me emotionally and intuitively. I love the play of light across the landscape and the fleeting wonder of the animals. It is my goal to create from this wondrous vista a sense of place and a memorable moment in time.
