The visual world explodes with color in every season of the year.

The vibrancy and fluidity of oil paint, whether straight from the tube or mixed with other hues, lets me translate onto canvas the abundant richness I see and feel around me.

My painting style, which I call interpretive realism, helps me explain my existence and puts my world in order. To move a color-laden brush onto a blank white canvas is akin to solving a puzzle.

Defining and redefining my inner vision is an exhilarating, challenging and exhausting experience.  When I’m absorbed in my painting, I’m unaware of the passage of time and the sounds around me.

I’m totally immersed in the creative process….and loving every minute of it!
