Artist Statement

It is the beauty of Godʼs magnificent artistry in the world around me that inspires me to paint. I love light. It transforms the mundane into the spectacular. I stand in awe. Colors, rhythmic patterns, and beautiful form perform as if dancing to unheard music. This is what I try to capture in my artwork. It brings me great joy and purpose in life to birth on canvas those things which stir my soul.

I love rhythmic, well-designed compositions with a lot of ʻfood for the eyeʼ. I am a representational painter by choice. I feel that my affinity towards realism enhances the message I am trying to convey. Concept and design are paramount, but by offering complex compositions, full of detail, the eye can keep traveling around the painting discovering something new every step of the way.

Acrylic painting on watercolor board, 24"x24".  The apple and spilled cup remind us that in Genesis the Bible tells us that before the flood, people on earth were eating and drinking and enjoying life but ignoring God.  Now, in the 21st century I wonder if things have changed.  I have symbolicly included various things pointing to a future event...Jesus coming again in the clouds riding on a white horse to the sound of trumpets.
