STATEMENT
The love of nature’s beauty, energy, and form in tandem with an intense palette are apparent in my artwork. I work both from life and from photographs—often a combination of the two. I get much more direct emotional response working from life. With photo references I can better enhance and recompose elements to my liking. To set the overall tone, I often start with rough “blocking in” or intuitive flows of color and work from there. I exaggerate and simplify shapes to bring a painting to life. With bold color I intensify a subject’s energy and mood. Watercolor allows me to paint quickly and with great flexibility. Capturing the gesture, the inner character, of my subjects is my primary focus. I want to convey the sense of fascination that I feel with human nature or natural beauty and the mystery of nature. Closely observing the light and colors of nature provides me a connection to the world around me that I hope to convey to viewers and collectors alike. 2018 Golden Paints QoR Award.
