Natural areas, mountain ranges and countryside scenes that surround me are
my inspiration. Texture is a major element in my work. I paint and explore the effects that thick textrued paint produces during different light conditions. The paintings appearance
is sculptural and tapestry-like and as light conditions change so does the paintings
appearance. I start with a complementary color under painting. When the painting is finished, small colorful flicks of the under painting peer through from between the textured
paint, creating a brighter image. I enjoy the abstract application of the paint, that
comes together as you step back. My paintings appear as realism afrom a distance, but nevertheless become very abstract and crude close up. Each textured landscape painting is interactive yet peaceful.
