"The richness of color and beautiful light achieved by the Old Master painters is my inspiration as I study their work,  hoping  to continually deepen my understanding using their example as the standard I have set for myself.

I hope to heighten viewers awareness of the beauty found in everyday objects as well as the bounty of the seasons, bringing to them an awareness of things that cross their paths each day so that they might learn to experience moments of  joy in their observations.

All of my still lifes are painted directly from life enabling me to 'feel' my subject and communicate a true personal expression of my observations."
