A Plein Air Painter by both training and desire, I knew early on that the natural world held wondrous mysteries waiting to be explored. Form, strong colors and bold brush strokes became golden keys in my vision quest to express nature's hidden secrets in my paintings. Somewhere along the journey, the boundaries of form began to feel limiting. Color became a more dominant force in my work, and I became free to express my artistic vision of nature's aliveness, motion, and energy in more abstracted and expansive ways with luminous colors in oil & acrylic, and my large size canvases.
