Artist Statement

I am a painter who is inspired by the world around me, including the places I have traveled and explored. I want to share those experiences in my work as I continue the artistic journey and find new inspiration from the places, and people that surround me.

My paintings celebrate color, texture and a physical connection to the nature that each artwork represents. My goal is to create a sense of depth in each painting using thick, expressive, paint strokes, shadow and light. I work primarily in acrylic on canvas, building in layers and texture in a technique that usually is more representational of oil based work.

My hope is the dimensional approach of building my painting on the canvas will help connect you as the viewer, draw you in, and create a relationship with the Impressionistic / Open Impressionistic style of the artwork.

Thank you for visiting.
