Artists Statement:

 

"Whether painting or photographing, rather than trying to copy a particular scene or image, I try and capture an interpretation of it. This is based not only on observations, but also on emotions attached to those observations. I want to know what the subject is all about and why it projects a certain mental and visual image. Sometimes my compositions are rooted in my dreams and my work becomes a sort of take off point for exciting visual journeys, that hopefully will convey some emotion to those who view them"

Artists Statement:

 

"The inspiration for my work is for the most part derived from the natural world around me, and my own imagination. I often work from memory of a place, using color and form in a general, more impressionistic style. Instead of capturing a scene in an exact representation, I like to invoke in the viewer a sense of history and timelessness.

I am particularly drawn to landscapes with an atmospheric quality, by the sea or in the mountains, that allows the eye endless possibilities of creative interpretation.

I spend much of my time on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in the hills of Central Vermont, and in the tropical climate of Central America."
