“I am energized and challenged by the creative process involved in developing each of my oil paintings, often choosing dramatic scenes I find in Colorado where I live. I focus on capturing the moods I see and feel as I paint, and I often fit into the category of tonalist painters.
“How sun and clouds and sky intermingle with the earth’s surface is fascinating to me. I like to emphasize unusual lighting and scenes that you can’t find in broad daylight, leading the viewer into places of stillness and serenity.
“I also like variety and am compelled to try new things to expand my perspectives and abilities as a painter. I sometimes choose still life flower scenes to make sure I’m having fun and developing balance and new ideas in my paintings.”
