ARTISTS STATEMENT
Like a majority of representational artists, my paintings have stories to tell. Throughout the years, connections develop and mature in the places I choose to paint. I love the changing seasons, my artwork would suffer without them. Nature's personality makes an impact on those paintings, which began in my early years of painting outdoors. Exploring and painting the outdoors always presents new discoveries. Whether hiking state and national parks, or nearby woods, camping, canoeing or fishing, I become connected to my surroundings. There is an unmistakable sense of place and connection that occurs when you are painting for hours on location. The journeys are every bit the enjoyment as is the painting itself. The mountains, rivers and wilderness provide more than just painting inspiration, they nurture the mind, body and soul.
