Artist Statement:
"I am a painter, a traveler; quiet, curious, experimental, ever searching for beauty.
To begin with, I work intuitively; playing with combinations of colors and textures until the painting nudges me, and reminds me of a feeling, a place, a poem.
My paintings reflect my emotional connection to the beauty and mystery of nature that surrounds me.
But what is beauty? For me, beauty is the sound of wind, the smell of weather, the dappling of light, the dance of leaves, even rust on a barrel; nothing conventional, usually imaginary, sensitive, sensual, thought provoking."
