Artist Statement:
“When I paint I concentrate
on the pure visual impression
of the thing in front of me. I
try to find the beauty of
light and atmosphere. I want
my paintings to be truthful
renderings of nature but also
to resonate with feeling. My
paintings involve hours of
careful, intense observation.
That is the chief joy of this
kind of painting, that I can
put aside the many
distractions of a normal day
and focus all of my attention
on what I find beautiful.”
“Nature is a great teacher,
and working from direct
observation allows me to
unlock some of her mysteries.
The forms that I am able to
bring to the surface should
clarify my interpretation of
human relationships. To copy
nature is an impossibility,
but to seek an understanding
of particular human emotions,
to attempt to clarify
emotional content through
silent sculptural form, is
within the artist's reach. I
feel it is necessary to study
life. Drawing on the
inspiration I receive from the
subject is an attempt to make
poetry of the form, and
ultimately, present the viewer
with those essential forms
that expand our knowledge of
how we interrelate to one
another.”
