Artist Statement

Primarily working in pastels or oils, I manipulate the elements to create impressions from light. I work both en Plein Air, observing life, from imagination, remembering light, and from photographs. My subjects have been primarily natural landscapes, while there is a growing investigative interest in the interpretive elements of the figure. My current work reflects my sympathetic impression of the physical world in nature as well as with the figure my spiritual reflections on the human dilemma in that world.
