I am interested in communicating the experience of being in a specific place at a particular moment in time. I paint or at least begin painting outdoors. The natural world powerfully invites us to key into our senses; touch, sight, sound and smell are at the forefront of our experience. The primary question for me is how may I visually depict the totality of what is happening? My response is to alternate the use of representational and abstract techniques. It is this mixture, the complementary and contrasting aspects of these approaches that provides a fuller language in paint. We all experience place and time in different ways. My paintings communicate my sense of what occurs for me. It is my hope the images resonate with others as well.
