Artist Statement -



I�ve always been intrigued by the luminosity and transparencies found in watercolor, Oil and acrylic mediums. I believe an artist must experience the painting � to absorb the surroundings, the atmosphere, to have a oneness with the subject matter before the first brush stroke is applied.
My style is described as �Abstract Realism� and my strength is found in the composition. I�m drawn to diverse subject matter that challenges the viewer to see abstraction in the ordinary � to meld the �real� world with the �abstract�.
