Artist Statement:
"Everywhere I look, I am overwhelmed with the beauty of nature, and also the many colorful people who grace my life. I paint in response to all of life, using the forms of nature as symbols for expression: pathways, clouds, mountains, sunlight and shadows, flowers, trees, and flowing streams. The paintings are a record of my personal journey. More recently, I have been emphasizing experimentation, improvisation and play.
I also love words, and collect titles from everything from rock music to hymns, movies, sports, and social media. My paintings are inspired by both the words and music. For me the titles are a very important part, and are one my ways of connecting with the world"
