I paint directly from nature; I'm interested in the specific time of day, the particular light, the weather; spending time in a place, one can explore its essence. Outdoor work has a life and immediacy about it, a ring of truth.
Striving for honesty and authenticity, I seek to convey nature's beauty and mystery and a sense of place while evoking emotional connections, recollections, and experiences. If you like a work of art, you will return to it often for pleasure and inspiration not only as a decoration but as an object of contemplation.
