Artist's Statement
I am inspired to draw and paint in an attempt to capture universal truths found in the everyday world. I am drawn to the wonder of light crossing the surface of a subject. My goal is to create an arresting image of the beauty that surrounds us. To plumb the sublime from nature’s bounty, whether from an object, figure or landscape.
I work to depict these graceful moments and to strike a balance between the ideal and the actual. I work from life, employing careful observation and analysis of the subject. The media utilized to create my work include graphite, charcoal and oil paint. In the end, my hope is that my efforts will result in a work that contains a bit of truth to it. |
