Form and color have always been of primary interest to me. Capturing and interpreting the little incidents that mark the passing of time in a painting or drawing is exhilarating. I love color both the subtle tones found in shadows and the rich areas of saturated colors in lighted objects.

My strengths and preferences are for representational art, yet I am not a slave to realism. I like the challenge of portraiture and figure studies but mostly I paint my surroundings, finding enjoyment in interpreting form and color to create the illusion of space. My aim is a gently nostalgic vision of the everyday.

Harford County and Maryland provide a wealth of subject matter from rural landscapes, urban areas and water scenes and I try to take full advantage of these opportunities. Oil, acrylic, watercolor and pastel are my mediums of choice. I often work “en plein air,” but I also use sketches and photographs, which I have taken as references for portrait and some landscapes.
