"I paint
primarily outdoor scenes, trying to fully capture the mood and energy of each scene.
The majority of my paintings are landscapes; however, I also enjoy painting urban street scenes that portray
every day events and activities. In all of my paintings, I try to give
the viewer the feeling that they could walk right into the scene represented."

"I work primarily with acrylic paints because of their flexibility and
rich color range. I enjoy painting with colors that are very intense and alive. I feel this helps the viewer feel that they are part of the experience. In order to accomplish this sense of viewer involvement, many of my paintings incorporate various painting
surfaces, added textures and dimensions, and other mixed media techniques. I
often use various acrylic mediums such as modeling paste, ceramic stucco, blended fibers, resin sands, and heavy acrylic medium
to add an extra dimension and realness to the scene. Because I paint realistically, viewers are often caught by surprise by the dimensionality of the paintings, and
they enjoy becoming a part of the discovery process. I feel this helps bring
people into the artistic process and gives them a sense of fun and excitement about the artwork."
