Statement:
My primary concern is to paint things that I am passionate about. The environment is something we all depend on and use to our advantage, either to make a living as a farmer, or manufacturer, or to sustain our own lives. How we use it is important if we are to continue to live healthy lives.
History has shown us in the last century that we have progressed at an amazing rate relative to the rest of human history. I feel we may be paying a price for the progress we have made through pollution and waste created to make our lives easier. We create nuclear waste to make power; claiming there is less carbon monoxide released than coal burning power plants. We in turn use the lakes and rivers to cool these generators of coal and nuclear power plants, warming and polluting the water so we all can plug our toasters into the wall every morning. I’m not a politician and I don’t have the answers to alternative solutions but I feel we are working against nature in search of material wealth.
When I paint I draw inspiration from my family history and their rural past. ...
