What Inspires Resonates: emerging from a sheltered forest path to the sudden vista of sand dunes cresting to the horizon; the vision of the shimmering, endless sea ambling through the tide streams of a marsh as vast as prairie beneath the azure sky; feeling the serenity and hushed beauty of a lake among the dunes; standing amid a forest glade in awe of hanging valley; discovering a vernal pond appearing magically in the spring--these are the timeless landscapes and seascapes I seek to capture on canvas. In nature, it is light that creates color; in paintings it is the color that creates light. I seek to capture the beauty and light of the nature around us.
