Artist Statement
The open marshes, the ocean & bay and the ever changing sky where they meet and become one is the source of my inspiration, the jumping off place. I feel challenged to create a sense of atmosphere and to capture or conjure a kind of emotional afterimage.
I consider myself a figurative expressionist, while grounded in the natural world my paintings become a matter of abstracting and distilling the details until the painting hovers between abstraction and representation.
