Artist’s Statement:

            As a painter, I want to make images that look alive and invigorate the mind, delectable objects that want to be touched, yet are interesting from any distance.  I use a lot of color, texture, and movement, in a semi-abstract manner, so as to awaken the imagination.  If a pose or a scene is interesting enough, I am content to just imitate it well.  Sometimes I like to try to find the more general essence of things, especially flowers, trees, parks, or the countryside.  Occasionally, I get to arrive at an entirely new treatment of a traditional subject.  My forte is landscape but I especially enjoy making aerial views, for they bring fresh perspectives and endless variety and fascination.  Such landscapes help me to see a higher context of life, and they improve my sense of the environment and ecology.  I seldom go into complete abstraction, easy and fun though it is to do.  I still learn more about the world, about art, and new techniques when keeping a connection to nature, though trying to rise above her.  Lastly, my ideal canvasses are walls, or murals.
