My paintings are about the experience of light and shadow, color and texture, the play between the seen and the unseen, between memory and imagination.  

I am most inspired by the quiet drama of nature;  trees bending toward the light, silent reflections, sunlight breaking through clouds.  My imagery reflects a personal history, whether it's of childhood summers spent near the marsh and the live oaks of Jekyll Island, Georgia or of more recent travels to Italy and France where art and history are inseparable and where there is a nearly universal respect for that which is natural and life-sustaining.
