ARTIST'S STATEMENT
​
“I am inspired by my own travels. Places and people offer me new scenarios and feelings to pour into my painting. Europe, USA, Asia, all cultures suggest diversity, to which I want to be the eye witness. On the other hand, art is a lens that translates the outside world for me to understand it and connect to humanity.
My way to achieve this is either paint on location, or take notes and draw sketches when I travel. I strive to work by memory, which requires a deeper observation; I select only what really reso-nates within. If I use my own photos I draw an edited version of the subject. Then I decide my own color arrangement, according to my mood and pre-mix a limited number of colors on my palette. At this point the brushwork should be (or at least appear) the easiest and most effortless. In other words, the painting should paint itself!
Ultimately I want the viewer to get lost in a timeless story. It's my highest reward. And a bet every single time.”

ARTIST'S STATEMENT
​
“Home is where the heart is. Community spirit and authenticity motivate my work. I am ceaselessly inspired by Vermont’s integrity, diversity, and capricious nature. Capturing her subtle and sensational beauty in rich juicy paint is like roping the wind, brilliantly impossible. Her mysterious moods and change of seasons lead me on!
Each subject suggests method and media. Armed with insight and appreciation gained from considerable observational study, enthusiastic abandon ensues. I encourage all manner of organic serendipity and follow the painting’s lead. Epic opposing forces crash and dance. Dark and light, warm and cool, hard and soft, straight and curved, action and rest, chaos and organization… each resolved in turn. Moving towards order the dynamic energies of color, shape, space, and light are engaged. Like love and life, I experience the creative process as an unfolding event with a deliciously unpredictable outcome.
Art is my spiritual practice and humble expression of gratitude. My best work is done at the confluence of present moment attention, artistic aptitude, and love. To share that experience with you through art is my life’s work and greatest reward.”
