ARTIST STATEMENT

At the core of my work is an intense interest in the energy and movement of the landscape.  My paintings evolve from intimate
experiences, filtered by the passage of time and memory.    The process begins with rough pencil sketches done on location.  These
images are the foundation in formulating an idea for a painting to be executed in the studio setting.  Many weeks, months or years
may pass until I return to the memory of a particular experience as sparked by the sketches.  Color decisions are made during the
painting process.  Although I envision a final image in my minds eye before the painting begins, this image may alter during the
creative process.  It is this process that continues to sustain and challenge my energies.
