About the Artist As an artist I am interested in values of light. I attempt to make paintings that evoke various moods created by atmospheric phenomena. Likewise my fascination with the Mississippi river and the landscapes of this region have made them my predominant subject matter. I find the dichotomy of these forces potent symbols that can evoke emotional and intellectual responses on many different levels. For me the river represents both life and death, a continuum. A sunset or a remarkably beautiful sky conjures the incorporeal, a personal spirituality that is without denomination.
