ARTIST STATEMENT   

PAINTING FROM MEMORY, AND SKETCHES, ALLOWS ME THE FREEDOM FOR SPONTANEOUS BRUSH WORK. MY INTENT IS TO CONVEY THE FEELING OF A PLACE RATHER THAN THE SPECIFICS OF LOCATION. tHE VIEWER IS INVITED TO BRING THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE TO THE PAINTED LANDSCAPE.

BIO

AFTER DESIGNING AND EXHIBITING ARTFUL CLOTHING FOR TWENTY FIVE YEARS, A LIGHT WENT ON IN MY HEAD. "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?' AND JUST LIKE THAT I RETURNED TO MY TRUE PURPOSE OF PAINTING ON CANVAS. I WAS TRAINED EARLY ON IN WATER COLOR, THEN ACRYLICS IN COLLEGE AND ON TO LARGE PASTEL LANDSCAPES. NOW, IT'S OIL ON CANVAS FOR ME.
