Artist’s Statement:
I have felt the urge to create as long as I can remember. My mother provided
the atmosphere and encouragement, and my father a lifelong sense of wonder. I
feel excitement and the urge to draw and to share what I see. There is great beauty
in contrasts and patterns and details. The process of creating requires incredible
intimacy with the subject and provides great joy of discovery. New delights are endlessly
rewarding.
I am in love with sharp contrasts, crisp edges, concise line, intricate detail and subtle
gradations of value.
I want to share the grace of natural lines and use every value from the palest
to the darkest. Intense, patient observation of life around me creates an intimate
relationship with each subject that I explore until realism becomes interpretation and
pattern to the point of abstraction. Share my vision.
