Focusing on expressing the wonder of landscape, primarily along the east coast from Massachussets to Florida, I somehow find that I am drawn to the sameness rather than the differences. A sun-drenched bend in the road could easily have snaked up a mountain in Clarkesville, GA, but the one in this collection is actually on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. Two marsh paintings may appear to capture the same lowlands of St. Simons Island in Georgia, but one is, in fact, a salt pond in New England.
It is this sameness I hope to convey in my work, and it’s in all of these places that I find solace and refreshment whenever I need it. These paintings strive to capture the beauty and spirit of our own back yards, of places all of us have visited or can easily get to, whenever we need to. Whatever and wherever your special place is, I hope you find it here.
“Painting is silent poetry, and poetry painting that speaks.”
