Artist's Statement

It would be difficult to imagine a life without time to paint. Art has always been an important part of my life, and at times, provides a form of mediation and solace. I find inspiration for paintings all around me in shadows, alleyways, stairs, animals, clouds, and everyday items around the house. I am drawn to still life and wildlife, creating scenes that draws the viewer in and question what is happening. Everywhere I look I can see the possibility of a new painting. After more than fifty years of painting, I continue to challenge myself. The learning and growing never ends, as the process for each new work of art shows me not only where I am in my art, but where I want to go.
