“Domestic farm animals, especially cattle, provide daily inspiration for my work. I am among bovines quite often and have come to believe that humans have a biological and emotional connection to these animals, just as we do with our household pets. Because our lives are far removed from the source of milk and meat, we may have difficulty recognizing this link. I believe in the emotional energy of color and attempt to convey the subject’s mood with the use of greyed and saturated colors.”
