Artist Statement
While painting, my goal is to depict the essence of an idea but not to copy it. An extreme close up view of a flower, for instance, can create an exciting and interesting abstraction. Strong color is used, too, and sometimes (particularly in landscapes) those colors are not realistic to the viewer not willing to stretch his imagination. My hope is to help the viewer to see the world around him/her with new eyes - to see purple in the trees, for instance, when they normally wouldnt; to connect to their surroundings in a new way or to visually go somewhere new. Sometimes, though, it takes them someplace old by stirring up a memory. While my flowers are painted after careful drawing and planning, the landscapes and fish are done with a more direct and spontaneous energy. I find theres nothing like painting on location to get this creativity flowing, and its not uncommon for several hours to pass by and Im still feeling the excitement of immersing myself in my environment through the medium of applying paint to paper or canvas.
