Artist Statement

I originally began painting oils in the 60’s, but my primary focus the past 11 years has been watercolor. I have had the privilege of studying under many talented teachers. One aspect of painting that I particularly enjoy is color; the layering, depth, and richness of tone and color in watercolor painting is part of what makes this medium so appealing to me. I am primarily a realist and paint mainly from photographs that I’ve taken; from African tribesmen to Amish pastoral scenes, to Italian boats on the Amalfi coast. That said, I also enjoy the occasional abstract painting, and have played around with various textures and mediums in addition to the watercolors. Traveling both abroad and domestically has afforded me the opportunity to see new places and things through an artist’s eye, and I hope my paintings reflect an appreciation for color, life, and vibrant details.
