My artwork...

is a reaction of my innermost feelings to what I am seeing before me, whether it is a magnificent mountainous peak or a beautiful vase of peonies.  I want to focus on what God has created  whether it is magnificent or a subtle beauty that has to be brought to the attention of the viewer.  Often value exists in things or places that people don't necessarily associate with the word..  Yet, there is a moment in time ... the way the light hits or or a certain look that can change something ordinary to absolutely inspiring..  I want to convey the wonder and awe of inspiration and leave a little part of me on the canvas. Hopefully the viewer will feel the same sense of wonder that I felt when creating the painting and I will have achieved my purpose.
