“And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the babbling brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.”
-William Shakespeare
For me, the greatest satisfaction comes from creating something that really brings joy to others. It could spark a memory or represent something they love. Perhaps it brings them a sense of peace, taking them to another place for a moment. It could just be something as wonderful as bringing the beauty of the outdoors into their homes.
I like to capture the little moments. Something that catches the eye or touches the soul. A chance encounter with wildlife or an uplifting scene. My art often represents magical creatures, real or imagined. Sometimes it’s a beautiful place you can escape to and get lost in for a little while. It may depict meaningful objects or animals that have a deep connection, something important and joyful in your life.
I love hearing the stories from people who really connect with a piece I’ve done. Always shared with a smile and a warm heart, sometimes with tears.
I work in several mediums, but I tend to focus on charcoal drawing and acrylic painting. I love the depth and mood that a highly rending charcoal can produce. The wonderful colors and effects of acrylic are ideal for the kinds of images I want to create with colors that are honest to the mood.
I don’t have a particular niche, but I do tend to focus on the outdoors. While others paint majestic mountain scenes and big mighty animals, I always notice the little things. A bug, a frog, the way the sun lights a pool on a mountain stream, the hazy glow of a summer afternoon on a small patch of a wild grown field.
Thank you for visiting and please enjoy the art!
