 Artist Statement 

"I look for moments of extraordinary beauty in ordinary places. Each painting invites the viewer to feel, experience and remember, not just to gaze from a distance. If people feel drawn into the painting as to an oasis where they can linger, rest or refresh, I feel I've succeeded.
