For me, color is the basis of my artwork. Even nightime is alive with color— it is a breathing entity that surrounds us always. When I am painting my night scenes I can hear the crickets, the rustling of the deer in the woods and the trees singing in the cool breeze of evening. This song of nature is what I try to convey in my work. It is also what is inside of me.

I work in my studio with an eclectic blend of music playing in the background. It helps to ground me to the creative process. The studies I am concentrating on now are a variation on my moonlit landscapes. I want to show how color is always there both at the brightest part of the day and at the deepest hour of nightfall. I believe there is an equal amount of joy any time and color is just waiting to burst through.

I hope that when someone looks at these works that whatever else they take away with them they also take the feeling that the exuberance of life is always waiting for us if we just open eyes and see.
