"I have always felt drawn to the beauty and serenity of nature and
the landscape. I especially enjoy painting landscapes now that so
many are being lost to us through development and growth. In my
paintings, the trees, streams and hills are usually from a specific
place but I hope that the viewers are able to feel that these are things
from places that they have also visited. I work from plein studies and
reference photos, always rearranging compositions and exaggerating
the colors if necessary. I feel my painting is successful if the viewer
can look through my eyes and respond to the beauty that I have seen."
