I seek to live “plainly”, write “plainly”, speak “plainly” and paint “plainly”. I am in love with the ordinary and want to portray it as “extraordinary”. I would like for my work to encourage others to not only stop and smell the roses, but to consider the beauty in a dandelion, bone or shell, the solitude of a winter beach and the romance of a rainy day in the woods. Every day, I observe nature, and if I am not mixing colors on a palette,or words on a piece of paper, I am mixing them in my mind. The lavender in the wet bark of a tree, or the indigo shadow of a rock bathed in sunlight, or the deep green foliage hiding the secrets of an offshore island… all ignite my romantic imagination! If I can communicate the plain truth and romantic drama that I see in nature and ordinary objects, then I have succeeded and made a connection with the viewer!
This is always my goal.
