Why Do I Paint?

I paint because I want to feel the beauty in the world. It's my tie to simplicity in our complex environment. I paint the world around me, the birds in my backyard, the flowers in my garden, the forest at my cabin.

My process of painting involves immersing myself in my subject matter to understand its spirit, and then interpreting with my brush and paint. It’s not about the specific moment of seeing the rose, it’s about an eternal rose. It’s also not an intellectual search. It’s a connection between me and my subject.

Statement from the Artist

For me, painting is a dance that captures the beauty and joy of nature. For you, my hope is that you feel it too.
