DESCRIPTION OF WORK PROCESS

I am an oil painter working in still-life and landscape from direct observation on a personal scale. My paintings are done from daily life, places and things sought out, inherited, or accumulated. I orchestrate beautiful color, careful drawing, and elemental design to create sensuous images using thick, calligraphic paint. Light, atmosphere, color, and pattern are constantly on the move. The eye, heart, and mind adjust to shifting perceptions. I trace these changes in my paintings.
