Artist Statement
Life abounds in experiences that give the artist an excuse to try, through paint to connect with the viewer. To communicate the simple beauties that are all around us; light as it wraps around a cup, or as it dances though a glass. The close intimate scene or the grand vista, each one offers the painter the same age old challenges- values, edges, composition, color harmonies and drawing. My goal as a painter is basic; to paint the everyday beauty that is our lives.
