Artist’s Statement
“My life has become my palette of observations.
I record the world through my vision, which I transfer to my brush. Every day presents a new adventure. Some days, I paint the literal image; other days, an impression of color and design
takes over.
“I love architecture, so buildings are a major subject matter. When sunlight transforms a flat wall into an exciting composition of reflection, shadows and texture, I want to create it. When I
see a series of windows in a store, I want to play with the interior scenes and their reflections on
the glass.
“I begin by blocking out the darks and details of the composition. The action of the brushwork is part of my energy to establish the movement of
the subject matter.”
