Artist Statement - In my life I am constantly aware of my surroundings

and always looking for the one selection of nature that is so interesting I

feel that I want to capture it in a painting. When finding these images my

goal is to create a completely natural composition that when painted on

canvas, creates a sense of movement with natural shapes and lines.

Creativity in composition and richness in color alludes to harmony in the

paintings, which brings about my contemporary style.
