artist statement
I paint what I see, what I know and what I surround myself with. I have always loved nature and to paint the land and the objects in its midst is such a joy. Although my work is representational, my process allows me to draw out more about the object or the sense of place than would first meet the viewer's eye. I hope that you enjoy my pictures.
