Artist's Statement

Skies cloud up; the clouds bring rain to a thirsty earth. The roots of trees, vines, and grasses search for the water and draw it up and in. The trees, the vines, the grasses turn to the sky, hungry for light, breathing in the sun's benediction.

Everywhere you turn, there is more than meets the eye. The world is alive. It breathes; it grows, in all seasons. Everywhere you turn, everything is alive - it is all alive.

My mission as a painter is to see the life and paint it. It is that simple, and that challenging. The magic happens when you see the life, too.
When my paint on the canvas stirs recognition in you, when life calls to life, when shapes of light and dark stir memory, when color calls up the joy, the spirit, the deepest sense of the sacred in you - that is the magic of art.
