Statement
“It is important for me to create a painting which is interesting both up close and further away in order to engage the imagination. I am influenced by the visual world around me. Elements around me spark my creativity; old farm buildings, city streets, the gesture of a person, the color of flowers, open vistas, blue mountains, quiet rivers, or the crashing of waves. Both new and familiar landscapes inspire me. When I paint I focus on abstract shapes and forms which weave together to create a whole painting. My interpretation of the visual world and how I apply the paint are part of my signature style."
