I
am inspired by the tradition of oil painting 'en plein air'. Painting directly
from nature allows me a spiritual connection to the land and constantly
changing possibilities for artistic expression. By painting what I see and
feel, my paintings contain an authentic sense of place, and also express
artistically the experiences I encounter on location. I would like to share
with the viewer the beauty, peace and serenity I find out in the natural
world. Their creation has allowed me an intimate connection to this time
and to these vanishing places. |
