“The subjects I paint are from my life1; my neighborhoods, friends, my loves, or places where we’ve traveled. Some images come from walking with our dogs and they’re in a lot of paintings, often showing the world through their eyes. I still have the East coast wonder of California; so palm trees, big California skies, swimming pools and warm afternoons in the garden can almost always get me going. I also have a fascination with light2 in its various forms and this finds its way into what I notice and paint. People talk about the bold colors4 and perspectives3 in my paintings or how some are seen from God’s point of view … maybe this expresses that I feel so much of my life has been a generous gift from above.”
