ARTIST STATEMENT
My paintings are concise, intuitively rendered responses to carefully observed events in nature, and when painting directly on-site, I am capturing moments in time. With the passage of time, light and other elements change, which are incorporated as they happen, and the images become elongated moments. Painting from observation captures the dynamics of fleeting moments and requires efficiency of brushstrokes, with forms defined by shape and the path of the brush -- each stroke is important to the composition of the painting and the articulation of the subject matter. It’s a spontaneous, honest and genuine response to painting phenomena in nature: This is what I saw.
