"I believe all art forms are found in nature. My artwork is inherently suggestive of landscape, although the geography is not specific. These landscapes are unpopulated. The work evolves and develops with a consideration of space and a use of color that suggests and refers to natural elements. Certainly, I have a colorist's concerns, although my color choice is based on instinct and feeling. I use color to give my composition a sense of mood and place that is remembered rather than observed."
