I love painting outdoors, directly from my subject. Whether simplifying the the dancing pattern of shadows across a field of snow, a row of trees, or a flock of chickens, I aim to capture the pulse of life, the magic of the scene before me. I delight in creating a design, balancing the shapes, the tones, and the textures in order to capture the intangible effects of the changing light and atmospheric conditions. Spending this time painting, whether in a vast expanse of wildrness, on a quaint street, on a farm, or by the seashore, I feel alive, inspired by the magic around me.
