Artist Statement

Daily I am capturing moments of my life with a brush, using whatever medium I deem fit. I love images with strong light, dark patterns and vivid color. I look for subjects that I can zoom in on so that the viewer of my work can feel and see things that normally they might miss or take for granted. A shadow being cast on the side of a building can create beautiful colors and shapes. Highlights on the tops of peoples heads can draw the eye around a painting. Reflections in a puddle after a light rain can create intrigue. I look for images that most people walk right past and then recreate them to bring awareness of their beauty.

What are your “Treasured moments” & how do you connect it to your work?

Several years ago I went on a trip overseas with a group of artist. Some I knew and some I did not know. We traveled to Barcelona, France, and Venice for three weeks. This trip became a treasured moment in my life not just because of what I saw but who I saw it with. Lasting friendships were made. Incredible places that I went were made even more incredible by the people I was seeing it with. My paintings bring back so many memories of that trip and the friends that I made on it.
