My predominant theme of domestication;
food, flowers, and children, all painted with various color
palettes, expressing the simple beauty of the everyday while
teasing the intellect with undercurrents of implied meaning.
I experiment with color, composition
and paint application in my pursuit to create artwork that
uplifts, encourages thought, and invoke feelings and memories.
I endeavor to incorporate techniques of the old masters
tempered in my own fashion with modern conveniences and
materials. It is my hope that the injected aspect of naive
honesty displayed through color and form will delight and
incite positive responses in all viewers.
If there is a complicated fringe to my
work (for those who need deeper meaning) it is my resolve
to enhance and not to diminish the viewer’s experience
with menacing and destructive visuals.
“If you get simple beauty
and naught else,
You get about the best thing God invents.”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
