Artist's Statement
I am interested in the abstract rendering of landscape. My paintings are concerned with the arrangement of fields of color. I believe that color is a medium which can convey the most subtle and complex feelings, and can give the viewer a sense of a particular place and time that goes beyond a literal visual accounting of that place. I work in oil, acrylic, paste, and monotype.
