"Painting is the solitary use of my mind and emotions, the silent expression of inner feelings.  Landscape is my genre.  I need to walk the beaches and breathe the air, climb the rocks and smell the flowers, feel the earth and absorb the atmosphere, before I can paint the place.  Each piece is full of sensory emotion and intimate memories.  The oil paint is thickly laid, the brush strokes are bold and the colors are bright.  I’m impatient.  I want to see something on the canvas fast, and I want it to be exciting.  My monotypes are painted in the same style, quick and free, bold and bright."
