I am a plein air painter—my art is painting the beauty I see around me every day.
Color, light and atmosphere are the graphic notes I use to express my love of place. My brush and my palette knife mark my presence and my participation there.
 
I describe my work as modern impressionism—contemporary, but inspired by the original impressionists, whose colors were brave and different, whose work was like nothing that had ever happened before.
 
I strive to be that brave! Not to copy, but to discover for myself, the temperature of the day—the way the light changes as hours pass—the way every moment is a glimpse of precious beauty.
