Artist Statement
The short time I’ve been painting has been an exploration, an exciting one down a road with many byways, and one that has changed how I look at the world. I don’t yet have a recognizable style, and I may never settle into one entirely, since I’m having too much fun at this stage. I am drawn almost equally to realistic representation and to attempting to capture only the mood or the feeling evoked by a scene, sometimes turning to one mode instinctively after spending a significant amount of time in the other. Whether I’m moving wetness around with a brush or being seduced by the powdery subtlety of soft pastels, it’s essentially color, with its myriad of possibilities, that continues to excite my soul.
