"As an artist I could paint anything, but it's water that can keep me mesmerized as I observe the wonderful reflections, play of light, time of day, and other emotions felt by its touch and power.  I enjoy boats silently moored or at rest, or with sails open ready to catch the wind; listening to waves crashing or water lapping at my bare feet as I stand on the sand; hearing the rain gently falling down to the ground or thundering on a tin roof and seeing reflections in rivers or puddles.  By adding the activity of people, animals or birds in my paintings, I feel this gives further energy and life to the paintings.

​

I paint in the oil and soft pastel mediums and each medium brings with it, its unique characteristics.  I credit the discipline instilled during my first few years in studying classical tonal realism to have allowed me to progress to the standard of painting that I strive for today.  In understanding the rigid rhythm of commands often associated with what appeared like laborious exercises, I feel it has given me the solid foundation from which to then experiment and 'break the rules'.  My pastels and oils show a vigor and movement in brush strokes and application that add to the drama and texture that I seek.  It is this perseverance in the two mediums that has allowed me to capture and master the effects that I strive for.
