ARTIST’S  STATEMENT

 

Painting is about solving problems of light, design, value, form, color and edges.  It  requires   an initial concept...an original idea for a particular painting.  Still life painting is my passion.    It provides me with all the visual concepts and challenges that fascinate me.
