"I want you the viewer to use your imagination when looking at my works, as I use imagination to create them. The joy is taking a seed of an idea and having it grow in front of me. The range and style is from water color to oil - from pencil to pen. The subject dictates the medium. Painting a landscape is a rewarding challenge - to capture the ever changing shifts in weather. The great outdoors adds a freshness that can't be found in the studio work. I have found that working in more than one medium allows me more room for growth. Primary concerns are composition, draftsmanship, and techniques. I have no set formula in working as I would rather create as my feelings dictate."
