ARTIST STATEMENT
"My recent work has involved a deepening of my exploration of landscape. My main concerns have been to represent a sense of atmosphere, space and light. I'm not that interested in what is in the space, but rather the space itself. Unlike traditional Impressionist work, I don't intentionally try to portray the light as it really exists, but rather how it feels. I try to get underneath the look of things. The series is a body of work focused on the constant drama that takes place when water, land and atmosphere interact in a coastal environment."
