Artist's Statement “For me, painting is such a natural response to the world around us. I am enthralled by all of nature's elements, just as they are. I feel that I am here to learn from nature, to study and to enjoy all of its subtleties and rhythms as much as possible. It is such a pleasure to stand around and worry about whether one color is darker, warmer, cooler, or more intense than another, as a part of understanding why something looks the way that it does. It is a wonderful way to connect with a time
and a place.”
