In my art work I seek to capture the beauty in nature. I believe that this beauty enriches our lives. The forms, elegant lines, bold colors, and intrinsic details found in nature are the continuing themes in my art work. When painting I try to represent nature accurately, but also with my own impression. I start a painting observing from life, with the subject in front of me. I prefer to work from life for as long as possible, forgoing using photographs in an effort to capture the true essence of my subjects. I use either oil or watercolor in thin transparent layers; this technique creates a luminous glow throughout the piece. The daily inspiration for my artwork comes from nature - as Albrecht Durer said, “For verily, art is embedded in nature; he who can extract it, has it.”
