"I am inspired by the beauty of nature; painting is an expression of love for that beauty. Painting is a never-ending, rewarding, fulfilling and joyful experience. The joy of the creative act comes from being able to “participate” in the beauty, becoming a channel of the Creator. My goal in painting is to capture the values and color of the subject I am painting. One must learn to see as an artist and realize that copying will not achieve the desired result. When one learns to interpret the light that exists in nature, the possiblity opens for creating a harmonious work of art ."
