ARTIST STATEMENT
I work exclusively in oils because I love the way that they flow and blend on the canvas. My paintings represent the things in the world that I find captivating, whether it is snow on tree branches, the majesty of a sunrise or the light that hits bubbles in the sunshine. I hope that viewers can experience beauty and peace in my landscapes and flow and texture in my florals.
