As a landscape painter, it is in the beauty and the complexities of my natural environment that I find inspiration for most of my paintings. Although I often find a metaphoric message or a story to be told in a specific subject, my objective is more often to simply share a moment, a mood, or the beauty of a "place". It is my hope that the inspiration and the depth of feeling that motivated me to paint a particular subject will resonate with the viewer in a meaningful way.
