Artist Statement: "My subjects are people, places and the things around me. Nature, the change of seasons, the change of color of daylight always inspire me, as do people, their movement and their atmosphere. I try to capture the beauty of everyday life and ordinary things. Plein air painting is wonderful because when I stand in a field I can watch water rise at high tide, smell the ocean, hear the birds and taste the salt air. When I paint on location I see and feel everything vividly, as if I have become part of nature. This is what I try express on my canvas."
