As a landscape artist, my intent is to share how I experience the environment I live in. The shoreline is my muse. Often my inspiration comes from my early evening walks along the beach just before the sun sets. Twilight is my most favorite and contemplative time of day and is a recurring subject in many of my paintings. The intersection of land, sea and sky, the ephemeral quality of light and textures of the marsh grasses, the seasonal changes are images I want to give life to on canvas.
I paint in both oil and pastel and will frequently paint the same scene in both mediums. I often will paint a scene in pastel first as a study for a larger oil painting. Occasionally I will paint plein air but I prefer to work in my studio using my photographs and memory as a starting point. I am not as interested in painting a subject as it exists but in honing in on the aspects of the image that most excite me. Painting landscapes is an essential tool for me to find and feel at peace. My hope is the viewer experiences a sense of serenity and harmony of colors and atmosphere in these landscapes
