I am interested in the power of essential beauty.

In each Painting and Drawing, the sensibilities of nuanced color, touch and quiet space compel me.  The purity and harmony of nature inspire me, the freshness of air, water and sunlight, and the character of gentle, peaceful animals.

Some artistic inspirations are Modern and Renaissance Masters, Da Vinci, Fra Angelico Rothko & Matisse.
