Artist's Statement:

 

I paint to capture a fleeting moment and preserve it for all time. It may be the momentary expression of a child or light dancing through trees in a landscape. 

​

My desire is to depict people in a way that tells a story and draws the viewer (you) into the painting to remember your story. That story often has a universal truth that connects us all. Every person is uniquely beautiful, created in God's Image. My calling is to see and portray that special beauty, personality, and heart.

​

In landscapes my intent is to create the sense of being there - to illuminate the beauty all around us that we may overlook. Perhaps you will allow yourself to be drawn into the scene for a moment of quiet reflection and rest, secluded from this hurried and busy world. With art, you can retreat to that place anytime you wish.
