STATEMENT
My subjects are largely representational (with leanings towards impressionism)
based on observations of my surroundings, in landscapes, florals, and human
studies. I paint in saturated color with heavy emphasis on light, color, and shadows.
My digital camera and I are on the constant prowl for early morning or late afternoon
shadows. The lush florals I create in both still lifes and landscapes come from my
own gardens and those who live around me. Living in the Midwest gives me plenty
of subjects, from rural to city scenes. The quest to understand the nuances of nature
inspires me to keep searching and growing in this craft. I’ve just started using
acrylics in order to paint more quickly. Painting quickly has been a trademark of
mine and using other mediums has broadened my horizons. My vision will continue
to change as my life and the lives around me change.
