About

Statement

“My purpose is to capture an emotional sense of reality by describing the color and drama of a place through gesture and brush stroke, color and composition. I employ impressionist techniques, and vibrant expressionist color and rhythmic gestural brushstrokes. I pair patterned and flat decorative space with atmospheric perspective to contrast the sense of space in the painting."
