The soft sound of the wind moving through the pines; the power of sun light peeking
through the trees; the faint sound of a single exclusive distant bird; the temperature, and the pure clean smell of nature. All of these moments call me to protect our environment. What I observe in nature becomes the hub of the painting that tells the story I want to share with you.
Pursuing reference material year round, I live in a area that provide wildlife experiences first hand and I travel the country to expand my views. It is vital and enlivening to see wildlife in their habitat. When I do, I feel the excitement and inspiration for each piece, as I allow all of my senses to bring the animal to life on canvas.
My work is representational with a slight impressionistic edge. I set the mood by playing with light and background color, using the pastel like a big loose brush. I add layers of pastel color to bring out the scene and the spirit of the animal.
