From the artist...

My still lifes are harmonies in hue, both strong and soft, with shapes that will dance and than settle to rest in their color chords. Each new piece is well thought out, in both design and content, than each object is very lovingly painted in all its natural splendor


I compare my larger works to landscapes in the vain of Frederic Church and Albert Bierstadt - they are grandiose. Valleys of fabric and light glisten off toasters and ceramic. Wood and glass are transformed before my eyes. Suddenly, all becomes life through eyes of love, pure and gentle.

 
I do not labor over the work, but allow myself to be labored by the work. That is very different.  It is “I” that is being created in the work.

Once the paint is on the canvas, it dictates my very next move, it poses the question and I must answer its call. So much of the very painting is done direct from the inward out, like the all-calm center.
