Artist's Statement
My art comes from my radical amazement at the visual world around me, and my need to turn that visual experience into paint. Nature is my starting point, but not my end result.
I observe nature very carefully and respond spontaneously to what I see and feel. I think of painting as drawing in color, relating warm and cool with each expressive paint-filled brushstroke, my personal handwriting.
Every painting is a study in design, the placement of shapes on canvas, a concern with the plastic elements. I paint outside, en plein air, which lets me feel the landscape I am painting and when I paint inside my experience working from nature inspires me. Working with acrylics allows me to record with color impressions quickly with immediacy. I think of myself as a Modernist Abstract Impressionist
Someone once said I work to the muse of Monet, Van Gogh and Joan Mitchell; I was thrilled. They helped guide me to develop my own personal visual expression and style to share with the world.
