Artist Statement -



Light casts its spell. Sunlight on the marshes, candlelight on the face of a child, the play of light through a stained glass window all hold inspiration for me. My goal as an artist is to invite the viewer to share my discoveries of light and its properties. Emotional responses to light come to us naturally, and emotion is a part of my art as well. Peaceful landscapes or stormy seas draw the viewer into echoes from their own experience. Plays of color throughout my works challenge the viewing participant to engage in my world.
