“Being a painter is more than mastery of techniques. It’s my desire to communicate how I feel about my world and my response to it. I’m constantly striving to capture the effects of light and atmosphere in my work. Working en plein air has taught me so much! I take this knowledge with me into the studio.”

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”   ~ Wayne Dyer
