Artist's Statement

    Art is a part of who I am. Painting has always been my first passion followed closely by photography. For nearly twenty years, I have been creating works of art in both mediums, and I strive to become a better artist with each new painting and each new photograph. Within the last few years, I have begun to infuse parts of each medium to create abstract paintings based on images found in nature. My goal is never to recreate what I see, but to express the feelings you get from a particular scene. When I show a piece of artwork I want the viewer to be able to connect to the work by adding their own feelings to it. I think this lets them walk away with an interpretation that makes it more of a personal experience for them. When I look at my work I want to be reminded of what originally inspired me about the scene. Whether it was late day sun creating long shadows over a field or simply the way a group of elements work together, if I look at the painting and get that same feeling, I have accomplished my goal.

    In order to create a true original work of art that fits into your home, commissions are available.
