ARTIST STATEMENT
"Colors
and the way light reveals them to me are what catch my attention.
I like to see them in the things and places that surround me. So,
that is what I paint. My still lifes are of every day objects but,
perhaps assembled a little differently than expected. My landscapes
are meant to catch an almost remembered location, recorded in a painting.
In all my paintings, it is finding the colors and the lights on them
that bring me to my easel and to my joy."
