Artist Statement:
The goal of my current work is
to capture the greatness and
awe of those places where the
land is halted by our vast
pacific ocean. From the power
of large open ocean swells
pounding the shore to the
peaceful peel of a wave into a
secluded, sheltered cove, each
location I work from directly
touches one's soul with
feelings beyond simple
description. My task is more
than accurately duplicating
what the eye sees. The
challenge of my work is to
express an appreciation for a
site's qualities on canvas.
The best method for doing this
I feel is to experience each
location more than just
setting up an easel for an
afternoon. To take inventory
of what composes a loved place
in a few hours is unrealistic.
Before I can take a piece back
to my studio to work and
finish, I need to know the
landscape like my own
backyard. That way when
painting I will reach a point
where I can step back and
realize, 'yes, that is what it
feels like to be there.'
