My first great art creation was, as a two year-old, a masterpiece of scribbled red lip stick across my mother’s white “Martha Washington” bed spread. (Sadly, the critics were not kind.) That same year I smeared a mural of chocolate pudding along our kitchen wall. Since then I have adopted a more sophisticated set of artistic media in which to work, but my original enthusiasm for expressing myself through the use of art remains just as strong. These days, I work primarily in acrylic, watercolor and oil paint.
I like to capture the movement of everyday people doing everyday things. I like to paint people who are candidly engaged in the spontaneous activities of life. To me there is a great deal of beauty in common scenes. I am especially interested in capturing those exceptional moments in which nature and people combine with unusual lighting and extraordinary color.
