Artist's Statement

I am inspired by the rhythm that I see in nature. At first glance, elements of nature can seem random or chaotic in their appearance or placement. A forest may contain trees of many shapes and sizes, clumped together in staggered groups. But with closer examination, it becomes apparent that that there is nothing random about the shape, size or placement of the trees. Nature is a master planner; all things follow their own unique pattern, coexisting harmoniously with all other elements in the universe.

When I paint I strive to paint the way nature does, with a sense of rhythm that is present in every brushstroke. Like a tightrope walker on a wire, I try to balance the elements of shape and color, size and weight, texture and transparency. When I achieve harmony or balance, the individual parts form a synergy which makes the piece feel whole.

"Tropical Oasis I"

Acrylic on hot pressed watercolor paper

While in Costa Rica I shot some photos of tropical foliage. Using this reference material, I wanted to paint the colorful flowers and leaves, but I didn't want to get caught up in the detail. I wanted to capture the lushness of the plants, their brilliant color and the play of the light on the leaves.

Dimensions: 8"H x 10"W

Unframed: Sold with light color mat, fits handsomely into a standard size frame

$125 plus shipping

"Renewal"

Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

More recently I have been painting together with an abstract artist, and I think that the way they apply paint to canvas has started to rub off on me! I try to create vitality in my work through the use of diagonal strokes. Living in Colorado, the surrounding mountains are often present in my work.

Dimensions: 16" H x 20" w

"Gallery wrap" - Image wraps around the edges of the canvas, needs no frame
