Artist Statement

"In my paintings I take a reductionist approach to the landscape, and more recently I've

added shapes representing impressions of mans structures, systems and tools that

are present in our environment. 

Vast horizons on water and land have been  my reference to nature, and adding these

symbols of man made shapes into my latest paintings add abstract elements while

being able to show the contrast

between man and nature.  These works are done in oil and acrylic, on paper, wood panel,

and canvas."
