My paintings spring from a lifelong fascination with the outdoors. This fascination, present even in my earliest memories, has greatly influenced my personal, academic and professional pursuits, and most significantly, my artwork.

The moods, mystery, and atmosphere along with inherent design of nature intrigues me, and I seek to unveil and express those qualities in my paintings, trying to document a specific place and time. It is self-evident that the single family farms and working harbors are threatened and rapidly vanishing. Still, there is a physical, emotional, and spiritual that remains evident. I choose to capture the inspiring of what still remains, rather than what has been lost.

My paintings are characterized by the thoughtful process of composition using natural and man-made elements to evoke a true sense of place. They are subtle in color and strong in mood.
