ARTIST'S STATEMENT
"I am passionate about my art and aim to paint everyday. I most love painting landscapes, and am particularly intrigued by how light creates mood. I enjoy painting outside, often times in a large format, but also love painting in the studio, where I have more time for reflection and can produce larger works.
My goal is to try and get the emotion of the scene across to the viewer by matching the mood of the scene with my brushwork, color palette and value/temperature range. I will forever be learning, and in turn, growing. I’m not afraid to fail, as failure is a means to success."
