Artist's Statement:

"Painting is a resounding affirmation. It tells us that beyond the chaos and strife of everyday living, there is beauty, grace, and elegance if we know how to seek it. This ancient and noble craft reveals to us a clear vision of what is good in the world, and the better selves we all aspire to. Still life is an extended meditation on these themes… for artist and viewer alike.

"Painting still life is, at heart, an alchemy of sorts. It allows us to transmute the humble materials of oil, pigment, and canvas into a grand illusion of shimmering light, profound stillness, and gracious refinement. It even has the strength to transmute that illusion into inspiration and transformation.

"I strive to practice this art with the high ideal of empowering those who encounter my work to see something of that beauty, grace, and elegance within themselves. Indeed, the highest compliments I receive come when long-time collectors tell me how fortunate they are to live with my paintings."
