A born optimist, my oil paintings are innately
colorful. Subtly influenced by the Fauves, I use
expressive brushstrokes to liberally interpret
landscapes and architecture. Vivid uses of colors,
thoughtfully applied, breathe beauty and
happiness, giving new excitement to the often
overlooked sights around me.”
I aspire to achieve a “glance” at our world, a
“snippet” of our environment, fresh and
unlabored. I portray the scene that is fleeting, yet
memorable. While painting on South Main Street
recently I had a viewer ask “Is that Charleston?” to
which I replied “No, this is Salisbury. Observe the
scene in front of me”. He was seeing, for the first
time, his own city through the eyes of an artist.
I thrive on that.
