I like to capture the movement of everyday people doing everyday things. I look for moments in nature when the lighting is unusual. I also enjoy the challenge of painting a common scene in an unusual way.
     Although I dabble in watercolor (especially when I travel), I prefer using oils. Figurative works are my favorite but I can’t resist plein-air painting and the occasional still life.
