Artist Statement
I have a passionate curiosity about my subjects and a desire to create distinctive compositions that are unique to the Pacific Northwest. Painting, for me, is an emotional experience. Spend close time with these paintings, feel the gentle breeze over a patch of Meadow Mallow against a weathered oyster house, experience the radiance of massive buildings, red and rising high above the docks where tuna fishermen ice up before heading out to sea, sense the warmth in the translucent glow of towering silos bathed in the late afternoon sun, and never mind the chill of the early spring air in the graceful shadow that gently falls over a rooftop beekeeper tending his bees.
