Park Days

I’m always drawn to the moment when the light is most dramatic, often at the edges of our days, and how the relationships of color, composition and texture within each scene speaks a calmer, simpler place in my life. Viewing and painting these meditative landscapes allows me to find a more balanced center and revel in the beauty that exists around us. Sharing these emotional connections visually, by painting beautiful paintings is what my art is about. But for me, painting is just as much about the journey as it is about the finished piece. Each painting brings its own set of frustrations and challenges, which pushes me to grow and learn while giving me the pleasure of purely creating. My voice is constantly evolving. The more I paint the more I realize how much there still is to learn about the relation to color, texture, and technique. After formal design and illustration training, I am constantly trying to loosen my style to become more painterly and impressionistic.
