Artist's Statement

Time and circumstances have favored me so that I am able to create drawings and paintings as I am inspired. I am enchanted with color and use it boldly, trying to see it in all its various subtleties.

My paintings are guided by the interplay of light and shadow, giving structure to the color; my preference is to work from life, whether it is a bowl of fruit, a garden flower, or the human form.

When that is not possible, I work from photos I have taken or my imagination. The amazing beauty I have found in both nature and humanity keep me constantly striving to convey this in my work.
