Biography
Artist Statement:
I find beauty in flowers, fruits and the structure of every day objects. I focus on painting the light, tones, colour and edges. For me, it's about reproducing the reality that inspires me without duplicating the set up exactly as seen. I love loose, bold brushstrokes and quite often work with a palette knife to build texture in the paint. Creating movement with design and an atmosphere you can feel is my goal in every painting.
I have studied Graphic Design and have been designing and illustrating professionally for over 20 years. I feel a lot of that creative experience transfers over into my paintings.
Education:
Self-taught
Artistic Influences:
I have gotten a lot of my paining knowledge and techniques by taking classes with one of my favourite artists Kelli Folsom, who is formally trained and has studied with greats like David Leffel and Greg Kreutz. Some of my favourite artists are Richard Schmid, Julian Merrow-Smith, Josef Kote, Qiang Huang. I draw a lot of my inspiration from old masters such as John Singer Sargent, Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Soren Emil Carlson. Just to name a few.
