A deep appreciation of warm
earth tones inspired me to begin painting landscapes. The effort was to develop
a style through experimentation with several types of brushes and pallet knives, to capture the texture and serenity
of nature – a perfect harmony of balance and color. Later, I began painting
still lifes to study the essence of light and shadow – the delicate way these elements complement each other through
an attraction of opposites.
Several years ago my appreciation of earth tones and multi-media art led me into an
introspective exploration through non-objective abstraction. I enjoy creating
the illusion of multi-media using only oil paint, a variety of pallet knives, and other unconventional implements. Recently bolder colors have found their way into my works as I continue to grow and refine my style. It
is a long process, but I see each painting as a journey and learning experience that holds a specific place in time.
