ARTIST STATEMENT
I've drawn and painted for as long as I can recall and have been a full time painter
since 1993.
In the beginning I concentrated on making ends meet. In time I relaxed and allowed
room for development and following more personal inclinations. I am out walking a lot
either in the hills or along the shore. The attraction is the natural drama of changing
weather conditions and their influence on the light and landscape.
