Artist Statement
I began Oil Painting over 10 years ago. Within 2 years, my paintings have been
juried into shows. Since that time, I have had many solo shows. On occasion, I
have displayed my work at craft shows, although I prefer Gallery representation
so I can concentrate on producing more work.
My love of painting in oils and the world we live in is the basis of most of my
work. Plein air is the way I can capture the essence of how wonderful it is to be
here. While painting, I am enjoying the environment as well as portraying it as I
see it.
Another enjoyment of painting on location for me is when people watch a
painting develop. Often people will stand behind me and observe without
disturbing me. It gives me great pleasure to know that people take an interest
in the arts by watching me paint.
Selling my art, is also very special to me. I like when people appreciate the
effort and craftsmanship I put into my work by purchasing their favorite piece, or
by commissioning me to do a personal piece for them, such as their house,
portrait, pet, etc.
My goal is for my clients to be satisfied with their purchase, so I will work very
closely with my client to insure that they are delighted with their piece. I use
archival artist grade materials and paints. Many of my pieces have been
personally hand stretched by me. If you choose, I can frame and/or mat your
piece at an additional charge, or you can have it framed by local framer. I work
in a timely matter so you will not be waiting any longer than promised delivery
date. You will also be shown work in progress, if you choose to see its
development. References are available.
