Artist Profile

Artist’s Statement

My purpose in painting has changed over the years. In the beginning, it was all about the “how.” I tried pastel, watercolour, acrylic, and oil. My experience was as a hobby on and off for many years. Instead, today is no longer about the product—not the picture in a frame hung on the wall—but about the experience, the act of responding to the subject in a personal way.

Each scene, portrait, and subject I set myself in front of provokes a unique and individual response. I may paint in different mediums; with tight realism; or with a loose, impressionistic stroke. I think about the flow of light through every painting.

What ends up on the surface I work on is a record of the beauty that led me to paint the subject. My hope is that my viewer can share in this moment.
