     I seek to live “plainly”, write “plainly”,
speak “plainly” and paint “plainly”. I am in
love with the ordinary and want to portray it
as “extraordinary”. I would like for my work
to encourage others to not only stop and smell
the roses, but to consider the beauty in a
dandelion, bone or shell, the solitude of a
winter beach and the romance of a rainy day
in the woods. Every day, I observe nature,
and if I am not mixing colors on a palette,
or words on a piece of paper, I am mixing
them in my mind. The lavender in the wet bark
of a tree, or the indigo shadow of a rock bathed
in sunlight, or the deep green foliage hiding
the secrets of an offshore island… all  ignite
my romantic imagination! If I can communicate
the plain truth and romantic drama that I see
in nature and ordinary objects, then I have
succeeded and made a connection with the viewer!
This is always my goal.
