“Someone recently asked me to describe my painting style. My brain froze but I knew I wanted to say something intelligent, so out popped “contemporary impressionism”. I have no idea if that’s what I do, but he agreed wholeheartedly with me! I do know what inspires me, exciting color combinations, shapes and intersecting lines and the spaces between shapes. My goal is to bring these all together on a canvas and ultimately capture not only what is seen but what is felt.

The goal is not to reproduce exactly but to convey the energy of a scene, the stillness before a storm, the intensity of late afternoon sun, the silence of a still life. Each piece begins with what I see, but ends with how it makes the observer feel. These paintings aren’t meant to document what’s there, but to push the boundaries between what’s real and what could be.”
