Artist's Statement
A work of art should be an artist's most sincere statement. Each painting I begin with a desire to make something satisfying and true. The subject matter of my paintings varies; I use whatever I find in daily experience. Frequently, because I live in the country, this means what are called "landscapes."
The scale of my larger work lends itself to public spaces. My goal in these pieces is to take a segment of space and make it beautiful. As I have found myself when passing-through or waiting-in neutral, institutional (and perhaps potentially "forbidding") environments soothed and reassured by the presence of a truthful work of art, I offer similar balm to observers of my work, wherever they find it in the course of their daily lives.
