My paintings capture the essence of my experiences expressing them in a thoughtful, beautiful way using light to illuminate and to create an atmospheric glow in my paintings. They come from the desire to share the beauty of nature that I see whether it is in my landscapes or still lifes. I’m drawn to the colors of fleeting light on the landscape in sunsets, moonlight and early morning which I try to portray with realistic color. But I will also push the color if it’s necessary to convey how I feel about the scene. I paint what excites and inspires me, color combinations, lighting effects, and contrasts in elements, painting in rich, luminous color and expressive, painterly brushwork.
My goal is to create art that inspires and instills joy through the beauty of nature.
