MORE INFORMATION

 

Through the act of painting I wish to accomplish two objectives; one is to interpret my surroundings and the second is to illuminate momentary thoughts, moods, and feelings. I want the images of my art to reflect visual connotations of culture and heritage through landscape and still-life oil based paintings.

In implementing a creative project, I work to produce several studies of each subject.  With each painting, I take into consideration the content, color, and composition while working to explore a variety of different and yet, subtle creative perspectives.  I will work on as many as three different paintings of one selected subject.  This is especially apparent in the still-life paintings, which incorporates objects such as an iron skillet, old shoes, fish, wood, teapots & Tonkas, to reflect envisioned ideas.
