Artist’s Statement:
As a representational figurative artist, I am currently exploring pastimes and activities that are enduring and universal. I clothe my models in timeless garments to reflect the unchanging nature of human experience. I strive to depict familiar moments though mannerisms, surroundings and mood.
In order to tangibly portray the scenes and people that are my subjects, I needed to build on my drawing ability, and so I have studied and employ the classical oil painting techniques of the old masters.
My work had been influenced by my Dutch heritage through images and museums I was introduced to as a youth.
