Artist Statement
To interpret a
perception of an individual or a scene with character and poetry, that is
the goal of my work. It is always a struggle in which shifting impressions
evolve into a composite, more descriptive than any single one. I strive to
make my portraits reveal a person's internal vistas and my landscapes
to be seen as spot portraits of natural settings.
