My Work

I strive to express a moment in nature with my paintings. These moments are found in the most common walks of life; as when the sun breaks through the dark canopy of a forest and light bathes a leaf in gold, or when the distant mountain rises above the horizon, splashed by the setting sun, bringing a riot of color to a routine scene. My challenge is to find color, contrast and texture as well as places of interest and fascination. I combine photography, sketching and plein air painting to create images that have their own language.
