I am a painter. I work primarily in acrylic on canvas and chalk pastel on heavy paper. Currently, I am working on “portraits” of the landscape near my home. As with my “people portraits”, I strive to capture the distinct “personality” of each place. I want to celebrate (and memorialize) the beauty I see in my world.

I imagine my vision and emotion distilling as they move through me to my hand and onto the canvas or paper. I believe this is my artistic signature. While my work has evolved over the years, my “voice” is the same. It is who I am as an artist.
