Artist's Statement
Camille Pisarro, the great impressionist, once said “Blessed are those who see beauty in humble places, where others see nothing”. I think this speaks to what I believe is the most important trait a person must have to be an artist…the ability to see; to observe what others often miss; to notice things that could be there one moment; gone the next. I’ve spent a lifetime observing the world around me and capturing it on canvas.
Over the years, mediums and styles have changed, but my passion has never wavered, and I know that every artistic road I’ve taken has led me to the work I am creating today.
Although my subject matter tends to be traditional, the methods I use to create my paintings are anything but, and often feature elements of abstraction, including a unique method of blending and manipulating colors and creating texture. Whatever the subject; whether a seascape, a landscape, or a still life, the final product is always vibrant, colorful, and decidedly unique.
