I am fascinated with creating light and color with paint.  I feel amazed when observing the colors of nature and want to bring these feelings into my canvases.  I want my paintings to be a visual meditation on light and color, drawing the viewer into a deeper relationship with nature.

I love to work with the luscious colors of oil paint.  Using brushes, oil paint, oil sticks, palette knives and rags.  I build up layers of paint on my canvas, creating a rich textured surface of broken colors.  With this layering process I'm able to achieve many subtle color combinations and contrasts, bringing a luminosity and glow to my paintings.
