Artist Statement: I love painting a variety of subject matter, but I am especially fond landscapes and waterscapes adding bold color where possible. I strive to capture the unique beauty of nature using bright colors and contrast. I revel in the beauty of our Creator that surrounds me wherever I go. My hope is that others can enjoy His beauty through my work.
