Artist Statement

My paintings are the expression of a chosen moment in time.  The paintings elicit feelings of warmth, cheerfulness and comfort, also reflecting the beauty and complexity of what I observed and felt about those moments.  Painting with pure pigment is an important aspect of those chosen moments.

Capturing an effect is capturing the emotion of a place, recognition, and a feeling that one can identify with what the artist was trying to record. To make you see what I have seen is part of my objective; but to have you feel what I have felt is the ultimate goal.
