Artist Statement
Plein Aire painting is the most exciting process. Looking at the shapes and choosing the most vibrant and exciting colors to convey a message of life is my goal. A sense of emotion, energy and movement is important to me in all my work. I am also interested in simple design, simple brushstrokes and interesting textures.
