Artist Statement
After taking a hiatus from showing my work, I am excited to present this collection.
As a landscape painter, I deal with all of the elements of earth. My paintings are not realistic yet naturalistic. Mainly I work in oils & acrylics. Surrounding moods and movements are present in my work. The narrative in my paintings is left to nature, which speaks to the audience. The addition of texture, which I use sometimes, enhances the depth of feeling.
