Artist's Statement:

"The focus for my art is to create works that evoke light, depth, and energy using juxtapositions of color and contrast. I have an emotional feeling about color that becomes a physical sensation that I can process into what I create. I seek to achieve luminosity by blending colors and situating them in contrasting ways to create these illusions of light and buoyancy. My goal is to evoke strong emotional responses to color and light in the same way that they affect me. My work is intuitive and visceral – both organic and sometimes with geometric references. Nature is always at the back of my mind when I paint, no matter how bright or unnatural they may sometimes seem. In my realist landscapes I try to infuse the emotion and energy that I feel when I am moved by a scene or vista that captures my mind and heart. My sense of shape and form find inspiration in clouds, water, plant life, and wildlife, from grand vistas to granular observation. Light informs color and I try to grasp those nuances in my work."
