Artist Statement:
Celebrating Life Through Art
Living things inspire me; their mystery, complexity, shapes, movement, energy, personality, environment, and relationships with one another.
I enjoy capturing subjects in “candid” moments and “glimpses” frozen in time, conveying the underlying idea, impression, and essence each leads me to express. These themes often evoke use of symbology and surreal elements to highlight the intended message. One example is my “Fleeting Glimpses” series which focuses on capturing the rare and precious sightings of the creatures and environments surrounding us which we often miss noticing in our hectic and stressful lifestyles.
Wildlife, horses, and nature are my primary subject matter. The artwork is characterized by rich color, bold textures, and physical dimensionality using a variety of water-based and mixed media as well as sculpture.
