My paintings are created outdoors and rely on spontaneous impressions. Working with direct perceptions encourages freedom from formula and supports a cultivation of painterly values that are expressed in my work, including simplicity, boldness, experimentation, invention and a reliance on intuition.

Through the process of observation and painting choreographed brush strokes and shapes of color are transformed into a personal visual shorthand. I keep shapes and colors simple and clear, exploring the relationships and harmonies of color and form. Through the use of paint and the manipulation of color and form, the viewer experiences the world as I see it – in both rural settings and urban imagery.
