Artist Statement
Using many layers of color glazed one over another, I seek to portray the richness, depth and nuance of my subjects.  I very much enjoy portraying nature woods, a bird surveying the world, the vibrancy of a bunch of daisies.  Through color and value I give form and feeling to my visions and I offer them to you, the viewer, that you may share my feelings and see my vision.
