"My work is inspired by the stunning beauty and energy of nature. I feel compelled to try to capture it's rich textures, it's perfect & imperfect lines, deep shadows and the way light dances and changes everything. Working primarily with palette knives and loads of acrylic paint, I attempt to capture that energy on canvas and draw the viewer into an experience of the places and treasures I find so irresistible."

I paint with deliberate attention to shapes of space. It highlights the subject (often trees), and the light or landscape around it. Thick, luscious oil paint is intentionally laid over a contrasting background color, with hints of the gold shining through. Through the layers of my art, I’m celebrating the beautiful complexity of life. "

My work reflects the value of the moment, the richness of nature, the power of imagery, and the joy of discovering hidden beauty. My hope is to connect with each viewer and share in the uncomplicated pleasure I receive from painting." 
----------------------------The attraction to nature and natural materials is quite evident in my work. I love studying how plants grow and how they are built, how light hits objects, and how shadows form. Combining painting and carving gives me the opportunity to explore those things in more than one dimension. By using wood as my canvas I try to bring to life the beauty of the material within an artistic composition”
