Capturing Moments and Movements
Art is an interaction… An intimate conversation between artist and viewer. Each acts upon the other. Sometimes consciously. At others, in a deeply subconscious and visceral way.
My aspiration is that the works I create both share and listen.

I made a choice a long time ago to keep the technicalities of painting simple and use only three colors along with white and Payne’s grey. While this choice may have stemmed from the unstated challenge I garnered in a junior college color theory class I attended with my mother when I was nine, that knowledge set me free for a life of creativity and thought. Learning that all colors could be produced from three made the necessity of choosing (and purchasing) paints a more simplified endeavor thus allowing me the latitude to spend more of my energy exploring my subject matter; to delve into not only its surface, but also its touch, taste, and all of the interconnected way we and the world interact with and are effected by it.
On top of that, I love a good challenge…
