Artist Statement:
"Plein Air Painting" is one of my joys but every day I paint in my studio with my "Mind’s Eye." These studio paintings are always more expressive because I am not confronted with a lot of information and I don't feel the need to show realistic aspects of the subject. In viewing my "studio paintings" and "on location paintings," you would think two different artists are involved -- in a way, that is very true! When you visit my studio, you will see exactly what I mean in the different looks and techniques of my work. Many years ago I began using the camera as a means to get and keep information for my paintings but as photography has evolved into the exciting medium it is today I find myself promoting both paintings and photographs.
