Artist Statement
My paintings are of many different kinds of subjects and as an artist, my goal is to recreate the feelings and fond memories of life and nature. Inspirations come from scenic views, splashes of light, brilliant colors, memories of my childhood or our family life. And sometimes it can be something as simple as an action.
Creating the emotional impact of these moments is what I strive for. There is considerable time spent on the technical aspects of the paintings to achieve a painterly realism and sometimes fantasy.
To create a painting that speaks both to myself and others is the greatest satisfaction. It all makes it worthwhile.
