He was drawn to the rich variety of New England landscapes and inspired by Aldro Hubbard, Frederick Mulhaupt and other Cape Ann painters.“I am a representational painter. I paint what catches my interest in the moment. This could be almost anything; an orchestration of shapes, color contrast, light and shadow patterns, a mood or atmosphere, a subject I have never tried, or a subject I enjoy. My goal is to closely capture my subject…but also to enhance it, through the juicy oil paint itself, and through my artistic inclinations”
