Artist Statement
"My Artistic inspirations come from daily surroundings, recorded memories or my imagination. I become fascinated with the character of a flower or person or animal or color and shadow theme and am compelled to capture my observation through painting.
Paintings from representational to abstract and the subject matter is “eclectic”. Everything is fair game. The paintings are often simple in composition and almost portrait like in presentation. Although eclectic, I’m told that the look and feel of my paintings seem to tie together.. I strive for clean hues and my work is very direct or in your face so to speak.
I paint figures with undefined faces, portraits of animals and humans, flowers, still lifes, water themes, the occasional journey to the abstract with a possible touch of humor imbedded here and there. My favorite tools are brushes and pallet knives and techniques may include layering and texturing. My main materials are oil and acrylic, usually on Canvas/Linen.
"The influences of the great painters in northern New Mexico and Provincetown, Mass. have been enormous in my life as a painter. The teachers, mentors and artist friends I’ve had have been fabulous. I thank them all for their wisdom and help on my journey."
