Like many painters, I am inspired by the natural world - by the interpretation of it's allure and moods with color, light and form. My objective is not to record the minute details of each flower, creature, landscape and face because there are loads of photographers that can do that much better than I. I strive to express the emotion evoked by my subject – my impression of it’s singular nature.
My palette, the colors I use, are purely Impressionist but the addition of gold in leaf form and metallic blends, as well as a textured underpainting makes my work contemporary rather than classic Impressionism. I'm always trying something new and I hope to always grow in my ability to transfer thought and feeling into visual expression.
