I enjoy on-site painting, capturing scenes that give me joy. From the foliage in Bainbridge, the banks of the Willamette in Oregon, the Finger Lakes of New
York, to the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland, the variety of my surroundings' beauty often becomes my
subject matter.
When the weather does not permit, I'm in my studio on Bainbridge creating composites of experiences from recent travels or painting still lifes from the fruits and flowers of the area.
Art for me is a never-ending adventure, a combination of experimentation and exploration both of the external world
and of my internal world. While involved in a painting, I find myself deep inside spaces that are otherwise never visited. As I experiment at my easel, this inner vision is what I try to bring
to
the work.
