Artist's Statement

I strive to paint the vanishing American landscape by capturing not only what the eyes see but also the smells, sounds, textures and emotions of a place. I am ever so sensitive to the subtle differences in light falling on objects, the temperature, and the changing weather. My approach is immediate and spontaneous; a glimpse into a moment in time. A painting starts with two strokes of color, from which the rest of the painting evolves. I paint with bold, abstract shapes attaining a freedom from the mere depiction of the scene. I tell the truth as I see it leaving room for others to enter and have their own emotional response.
