ARTIST'S STATEMENT
The hardest question for me to answer is "what kind of art do you
do?" My work changes gradually but constantly, and if it is not changing,
I feel I am not putting enough of myself into it. My art reflects my experiences,
and I have been fortunate to have experienced a broad range of places
and people. Currently, I work most often in acrylic, sometimes picking
up watercolor or oil pastels for hiking trips when I need lighter-weight
materials. My subjects are usually things in the natural world - landscapes,
seascapes, animals and still life. I have also painted portraits and abstract
pieces, and I am planning a series of paintings that reflect my Peace
Corps experience in West Africa. The moods, colors and brushstrokes I
use are all in response to the subject matter.
ABOUT THE PRINTS
I recently read that Georgia O'Keefe learned printmaking as a way to make
her art affordable. The Giclée prints I have included on this site
are my answer to this idea. I don't have the space to take up printmaking,
but using today's digital technology, I can offer affordable reproductions
of my paintings that are extremely close to the original in color and
sharpness, and the materials are durable and long-lasting.
Giclée prints are high quality digital reproductions.
Each print is carefully examined for quality and color correctness by
the artist. They come on heavy, photo-quality paper. The artist's signature
appears on each print. Large prints are rolled, unmounted, and shipped
in shipping tubes unless otherwise specified. Small prints are shipped
flat.
