Artist's Statement “Nature in it’s simplest form can excite me.A stolen moment captured on canvas.The sensual experience of painting Plein Air awakens my inner self and suddenly the brush takes flight.I am totally absorbed, in the moment.My painting becomes a reflection of the sun’s rays upon open fields, or the distant sailboats drifting to fallen sunsets, or a shadow creeping up the sides of an historic house, all creating a sense of place. Painting light and how it changes the object it touches is what I love to paint. With a little insight your imagination can soar. My hope as an artist and an interpreter of nature’s nuances, is that the viewer will feel what I felt as I was humbled before great beauty.”
