Deserted Island Painting

I look at art simply as a form of visual expression frozen in place and time. I also see art as a means to express a thought, a feeling. or even perhaps an idea - visually expressed on canvas. My artistic preference is to express my thoughts and feelings of tranquility, serenity and peace through seascapes - one of God's many gifts; the calm, warm and clear blue waters of Southern Florida's gulf coast beaches. these pristine waters and white sandy beaches. along with the playful dolphins, sea birds and mangroves that call these waters home, is from where I find my inspiration. I also however, find inspiration from my Latvian heritage and second home - utilizing the forests, gentle slopes, valleys and open fields, coupled with the varying seasons and beautiful sunsets and sunrises as a backdrop to expression and emotion. It is my hopes that my paintings provide the same personal reflection, escape and feelings of tranquility, serenity and peace to others as much as they do for me. I refer to my signature works as "Road" series - each painting taking you to a new destination. It's not where the journey begins nor where the journey ends, but where the journey is at this very moment. Where it began and where it will end is left to the imagination.
