Artist Statement:
My goal as an artist is to
convey the joy and awe I feel
when witnessing the beauty of
the world we inhabit.
I have been drawing and
painting for as long as I can

I paint everyday because it is
what I love to do.
Painting is the most
fulfilling work I've ever
found.
I am dedicated to strive, at
all times, to be the best
artist I can be and to paint
for as long as I am capable.
Alla prima painting presents
the challenge to record my
immediate experience of the
land.
The subject can be as simple
as a willow branch touching a
stream or as grand as a sunset
in the Rocky Mountains.
Painting from life is
extremely rewarding to me as
an artist.
I find it the most honest form
of painting.
Standing with an easel before
the land---that's when all the
years of practice come into
play---
the discipline to record the
fleeting moment on canvas
before it disappears forever.
As we begin a new century,
remember the land supports
us---that we are part of
it---connected to the earth in
ways we can't fully
understand.
