Artist Statement:
Lumen * Aqua * Terra
"I paint the places I love to
be. I paint the freshness of
eternal nature, icy lucid
streams, thunderous
waterfalls, and soaring
granite crests over silent
lakes. I paint the
descriptions of John Muir, the
echoes of Ansel Adams, the
American West of Albert
Bierstadt and Thomas Moran. I
paint luminosity filtering
through the landscape,
reaching to the foundation of
a stream, bouncing off rocks,
and illuminating the shadows.
Using oil and acrylic,
painting realistically is
merely my means to an end. I
want the viewer to connect
with the places I love to be.
I hope the observer will want
to walk right into my painting
and maybe even drop a line in
the water to catch a trout.
My published works include
both “plein air” and studio
paintings, which helps me
translate the dynamic
experience of the moment and
communicate in a more personal
way of what I am trying to
say.."
