Artist Statement:
“Color is like air, water, and
chocolate, we need it to live!
When I paint, color and the
effects of light are what I
think about most. My artwork
rises out of my lifelong
fascination with the visual, I
have been an artist ever since
I can remember.
I’ve been painting landscapes
because they are endless in
their variation, yet familiar.
People, and the moods they
create, inspire my paintings,
even if you don’t see any
people in the actual painting.
Most of my paintings are the
environments that we as people
live in, dream of, and alter.
I find that my paintings
carry familiar colors, red
being prevalent. I like red
because it is strong, warm,
and deep, and immediately
evokes emotion. I work
quickly to add energy to my
art, and alternate between
slow drying oils and fast
drying acrylics.”
