Artist Statement:
“My paintings are portraits of
a singular moment, captured
immediately by camera and
quick sketches then
transformed by my memories,
emotions and style. I hope to
share that moment with the
viewers, as well as to evoke
memories of similar moments in
their own lives, to provoke a
pause, to cause the viewer to
stop and consider how the
commonplace and the everyday
can be special.
For many years I found the
most joy in watercolor. Like
many other artists, I
appreciate the immediacy and
spontaneity of this medium.
However, I am constantly
experimenting with various
mediums and many of my newer
works on paper are being
created using acrylics. This
new direction has allowed me
to explore my art language in
a different medium while still
retaining the transparency and
luminosity of watercolor. I
am also enjoying creating more
and more pieces in oil.
John Singer Sargent, Degas,
Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida, and
several other American and
world Impressionists are the
painters who inspire me most
of all, though I have an
appreciation of many styles
and eras of art.”
