Artist Statement

In painting there is a stillness. I try and go lightly over the landscape - I try to not leave a mark or a footprint I don't want anyone to know I was there. You can't catch a cloud, although I try to in a painting. You can’t see heat, but I try and paint it. You can’t see wind, but I try and show it. Ahhh it’s a never-ending challenge - to paint what you can't see.
