I am a contemporary painter working primarily in pastels. Pastels are my medium of choice because of their vibrancy, plus the variety of results pastels afford – blended, sharp, watery, solid, to name a few.  I also enjoy the application (at times) of drawing and draftsmanship skills while working with pastels.

I work on a range of subjects, as it is a joy to discover the worlds within a still life as much as it is to dive into a breathtaking landscape.  What draws me to any given subject is an appreciation for the moment in time, and a hope that it may be preserved. 

Painting allows for direct participation with the beautiful light, color, shape and design observable in views both grand and intimate: I love painting because it makes me feel that I am a part of something larger than myself. I am also inspired by the experience of discovery that painting allows.
