"Lately most of my work has been paintings in oil and acrylic. I work mostly from the numerous photos I am always taking. I often combine several images to express an idea, or feeling. Cities, the countryside, and frequent trips to the ocean become my subjects. I enjoy working with the effects of light and shadow, color and composition in my paintings."
