Artist's Statement
Nature and music are primary inspirations for my art. Painting in my studio, I turn on my stereo and play a variety of music while working on a project – be it classical music, the Beatles, South American flutists, Blues, whatever matches my mood. Music is truly an integral part of my art making.
My work incorporates many different mediums: oil, encaustic, acrylic and mixed media. While painting, I use photographs and drawings to reference and create my images. By concentrating on structure, line, texture and color – put in a myriad of juxtapositions that can be abstract, landscapes or interiors that inspire me, I want to convey not only images to the onlooker, but also feelings.
