Artist Statement:
I have been always fascinated with painting nature and those things quite not permanent. I personally see spiritual significance in the density and feel of matter-there is something timeless, immortal about it- whether a rock, tree, water, a bowl of fruit, or an old barn falling down on itself. These things have texture, dimension and a soul. Trying to express the three-dimensional world on two-dimensional canvas is a daunting challenge. This is my aim with every new painting.

Using oil or watercolor, I primarily use landscapes and still life to study and interpret reality because one can look intently at, and study, objects that on a whole do not move.

My most satisfying results come from losing myself in the subject that I paint. In a sense, becoming the subject. Capture that color, see the sunshine, walk into those woods, feel the cold, the texture of the rock, hear the music of the babbling stream, the warmth of an autumn day.
