Artist Statement
As an artist, I love working with pastels because of their immediacy, freshness, and portability. I relate to places and objects that are sometimes overlooked. They provide me with the challenge of depicting beauty in the everyday. My intention is to capture the inherent beauty that these objects possess in my paintings.
Captivated by the play of light and shadow, I want the viewer to feel the warmth of the sun as it dances across a wave, a pillow, a face. While creating compositions that are unique in their point of view, favorite subjects of mine include people, places and everyday things that I find intriguing for their emotional impact.
