Artist Statement:
My landscapes consist of
scenes from my national and
international travels. Some
were painted on location and
some were derived from
photographs I took
specifically to be used for
paintings. They tend toward an
impressionistic style. Through
them I chronicle the intensity
of that moment during which
they are captured: the passage
of light and atmosphere; the
place where I stood painting
and quiet while surrounded by
the movement of people,
breezes through the trees and
clouds passing the sun; the
rise and fall of the day's
heat; the feelings evoked
during a rarified time, in a
place where I am confronted by
vistas or people that are far
different from my everyday
experience.
My portraits of dancers and
musicians reflect my ongoing
interest in flamenco and is a
result of my contemplation of
the differences between the
ephemerality of music and the
concreteness of art. Being a
visual person, I find musical
people, especially dancers,
fascinating. Their ability to
take something that is as
invisible as a sound and
translate it into movement is
an endless source of interest
for me.
