I need to have great music playing when I am painting. My brushstrokes come alive with the energy and power I get from music. I often listen to the latest Americana music on Sirius, but always appreciate the work of legacy artists Lucinda WIlliams, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris and Buddy Miller. My Spotify Americana playlist has over 5000 songs and it fuels me often, but I work as well to music across many genres. I am grateful for the honesty and heart these artists bring to their work; it is the undercurrent in each painting I make.

​

I try to capture the mystery and power of nature in my work. My paintings mirror my view that I don't take nature for granted. I hope my portraits of nature help people feel my awe for our natural surroundings and convey my wish that we do not forget and do not let go of what is so fragile in our world.

​

I paint for me, for the sense of exhilaration and joy that only a few precious things in life can begin to approach. I appreciate this chance to do what I love every day.
