statement

"My paintings are interpretations of the landscapes that surround me. Depending on my needs and moods, the color, light, and level of abstraction change. Recognizing the moment when a painting is 'done' and not missing it is the challenge. The inner feeling of satisfaction and personal gratification that a completed painting creates is what drives me. First, I paint for myself; however, I hope that the viewer is presented with a painting that evokes a narrative which allows them to experience a similar feeling of gratification."
