Artist statement

I enjoy working in both realism and abstraction. With both, I begin with a carefully constructed composition, using the Golden Mean as a way to achieve perfect balance. My realistic work is reminiscent of Dutch or Spanish still lifes. I begin with a faithful rendering, then fully develop an underpainting with white and umber. In the final steps, I complete the painting with color glazes. When I work non-objectively, my focus is color, depth, and movement of advancing and receding shapes.
