Artist’s Statement
As an artist, I am drawn to a wide variety of subjects, from the old buildings, animals, or aspen trees of the West to the landscapes and doorways of Europe. I look for arrangements that seem to jump out and say “Paint Me!” I am drawn to interesting composition, created by lights and shadows. I love loose, painterly brush strokes that dance across the canvas, with splashes of color.”
