ARTIST'S STATEMENT I have always been fascinated by nature. Growing up in Oregon afforded me the opportunity to appreciate and absorb the beauty, complexity, and grandeur of the land and the sky. As an artist, I am drawn to creating images of the natural world that capture and convey my imagination and my respect. I have painted since childhood and my style and technique have evolved through the years. As a professional painting conservator, I've had the added opportunity to carefully scrutinize and evaluate the working methods of the masters of the 19th and 20th Centuries. This study has certainly influenced and aided my growth as an artist, and has allowed me to more precisely achieve the results I desire in my personal creative efforts. My objective as a landscape painter is to create realistic images of nature that go beyond the mere description of a scene. It is my intent to capture the atmospheric quality of a particular location and to impart that sense of a special place and moment in time.
