ARTIST'S STATEMENT
All of my work is about light. "I paint with light."
My stained glass glows with transmitted light and color.
I make my gilding with the sweep of my hand so it reflects the light.
In my watercolors I respond to the light that gives form to a transcendent landscape.
My commissions help to create an environment for people's real use and offer the possibility of focus and serenity in a stressful world.
