My source of inspiration comes from the wide open spaces of land, water and the sky above. My focus is on the fine line that separates these elements, but also makes them one. Earlier in my career, I was drawn to photography. The precise technical detail that I could achieve through this medium excited me, however, within the last several years, I've come to realize the emotional connection that I feel toward painting. My paintings reflect a calm, quiet and spiritual place where the light and shadows take on new formations. As an artist, I feel it is important to give the observer a glimpse into the artistic process; to let them see the layers through which it was created. I like my paintings to speak for themselves, giving each viewer a unique experience with them.
