Whether working on-site or in my studio, the pattern of light and shadow is the first thing that draws me to a subject. My intent is to capture the sense of the place. The relationship of elements, quality of light, and color harmonies create a visual poetry that I seek to express on canvas.

Still life paintings are like quiet meditations, silent conversations between the objects, each object reflecting light off another, subtly altering the other to create a visual unity.

Recently, I've begun to explore the world of abstraction. Abstraction provides a new vocabulary for creating an experience of the world, unconstrained by realistic imagery and informed by shape, line, color, and texture.
