ARTIST STATEMENT

My most recent series of paintings celebrates field flowers in their natural habitat. In quiet but dazzling corners of the world, these rugged field flowers seem to cooperate as they lean into the sun and thrive. The viewer is eye level with the foreground plants giving a sculptural quality to the work and a strong sense of place…their place.

In my figurative paintings, I am drawn to the unstated expression of people’s minds by the way they move or the gestures they use. I particularly want to express the moments between interactions that seem to be introspective.The paintings depict universal themes that pertain to us all.
