Artist's Statement:
I paint what I see but I do not copy - I transform. Capturing the mood is what I care about. I want the viewer to imagine themselves having a cup of coffee in a cafe of painted or see themselves standing on the dock as an immense fishing trawler with a sassy name pulls away from the dock, casting it's amazing reflection in the water. My creative process is about combining observed images and drawing from memory. This way, what is striking emerges. I sketch, draw and photograph all the time. Research is essential to my process. Applying paint in a direct manner, I use both wet-into-wet and wet-onto-dry methods. I paint mostly with oil on canvas in my studio and work from drawings and studies I do on location with watercolor or pastels "en plein air."
