Artist Statement
The
primary inspiration for my work is a deep personal love of the
natural world. By expressing old world artistry in my own
modern impressionist style, I try to capture a feeling of warm
realism through inspired moods rather than the simply
reproducing technical reality.
My
interpretation, vision and first hand experience of the varied
horizontal lines and earthen features found in the landscape
of my native Louisiana provides my work with an invigorated
realism that enlivens each painting. I
blend tradition with originality to craft a beauty that
represents my love of nature.
To
create this modern interpretation of old world appearance I
use layers of paints and glazes over several days to form a
blend of light, depth and texture that provides each piece
with vibrant, brilliant character.
I
endeavor to convey to the observer the feelings of love for
nature that I possess. I want the person to feel like they
have been there or would like travel to the very place
presented to them. I welcome you my online gallery |
