Artist Statement
Even though I use contemporary subject matter, my work is intrinsically tied to Old Master techniques. Pure pigments and transparent glazes create glowing colors, rich darks and a variety of tonal ranges – all of which translate into realistic, three-dimensional images.
Throughout my career as an artist I have refused to succumb to clichés or newly invented styles. As a result, I have always produced art which did not require an explanation or interpretation, but made available to the viewer an intimate look at color and composition.
Many people have told me that my paintings make them happy… an extraordinary compliment.
