ARTIST STATEMENT

I enjoy the challenge of trying to capture the beauty of the world around us, always trying to invite the viewer to enter and explore the view. My landscapes are generally of places I have visited, and I try to re-create the mood of the moment with color, light and shadows.

In these stressful times, I have found solace in nature in all seasons. On daily walks, I find the changing of the seasons a solid refuge from conflict. Spring always follows even the roughest winter, and summer's heat gives way to the coolness and colors of autumn.

I seek to find beauty in the ordinary things around us. I paint because I love to paint. So, there is no great social or philosophical message in my paintings; I just want to make the viewer feel good when they look at my art. If it has made you happy, I am happy!
