Artist Statement

Picture

I love the detail in painting. To me, painting is problem solving and a mental challenge that changes with each work of art. I also love animals, so my pet portrait collection is a happy indulgence for my collectors.

​I paint skies because the abstract nature of clouds in the sky is an inspiration and a release for me.  It’s a merging of tone and value and my attempt to represent, in an emotional way, one of the most abstract elements in nature.  I hope to continue with this challenge for the time being, but allow my attention to be diverted by inspiration in other directions when it’s ready.
