Artist's Statement
There’s a moment of truth in each visual encounter that
passes quickly… sometimes unnoticed. I wish to capture
the essence of that moment and preserve it, share it
with others. This allows the subjects to tell their
story through my interpretation, my perspective of the
ordinary, but often beautiful moments of life that can
slip away unless captured and preserved in art. Keeping
the images simple, the messages are easy to translate:
love between friends and families, the beauty and joy of
life, quiet times. Basic shapes, local color, light and
shade give life to the paintings. The blurred, softened
edges allow the viewer to step into the work, find a
personal dialogue, and emerge with a connection true to
their interpretation guided by a new insight.
