Artist Statement:
In my artwork, I seek to
celebrate life: the simple and
spectacular images all around
us. Art patrons admire my
intense use of color and
texture to enhance daily life
and communicate my emotional
reaction to beauty. I consider
my style to be unique to me
but I have been influenced by
the work of Paul Cezanne,
Vincent Van Gogh, Claude
Monet, Pierre Bonnard and Jan
Vermeer. I am currently an
Assistant Professor of Art at
Radford University where I
have taught for sixteen years.
I primarily create large
impasto oil paintings, but I
also work in pastels. I have
paintings in private
collections in eleven
different states. My art has
been exhibited throughout the
USA, and I have won local,
national & international
awards in both mediums,
including awards from Dorothy
Gillespie, May Stevens, Frank
Webb, and Daniel Greene. ...
