“Even though I paint a lot of studies on location, my landscapes are actually less about describing a specific place than they are about the feelings evoked. With an impressionistic, tonal approach, I hope to convey the emotional connection that I had with each scene. Moving cross-Atlantic three times in my early years, I spent much of my life with an underlying sense of homesickness. This yearning propelled me to create a sense of ‘home’ within my landscapes. My greatest hope is that my work gives its viewers this same sense of comfort and connectedness; a gentle place to rest.”

“I aim to create paintings that communicate truth without telling the whole story, and it’s so satisfying when a viewer tells me that one of my paintings conveys the spirit of the subject in a truthful way.”

“Most subjects I paint are everyday places, that with the right light, become magical. The intimacy which develops between artist and nature can not be expressed any other way. The relationship between artist and nature is like any other relationship. It takes time to nurture. The artist observes, getting to know the surrounding environment and eventually becomes an instrument of nature; representing the beauty, the light, and effects as interpreted through the artist’s eyes.”
