Artist's Statement
The subjects of my paintings include nature scenes, real and imaginary, animal life, and portraits. The details found in nature, with their juxtapositions of the wild and the orderly, have always fascinated me. My goal, regardless of the themes in my work, is to combine color, light, composition, and content to create strong, dramatic images that are a joy to look at and to live with.
I paint mostly in acrylics because with them I can achieve a large range of colors and effects with a quick drying time. I tend to work rather quickly, which helps me get everything out on the canvas the way I imagine it. My processes range from careful and precise photorealism to extremely loose abstraction, but my work always remains representative of things in the physical world. I work from life, from photographs, and from my imagination, sometimes combining all these things into one image.
