ARTIST STATEMENT I love water, whether it is lake, river, or ocean. I love it choppy or smooth. I love it frozen or snow bound. I like shores and birds and fish. I like to be on it, in it, and around it. It is this feeling that I try to express through my work.

As a kid, I spent most of my days in water. I am a swimmer. Pools are comfortable, but swimming in a lake or the ocean gives me a rush. There’s a little bit of fear in not knowing what else is swimming with you. There is mystery to natural bodies of water.

In these paintings, I like to ponder the different states of water. Clouds are amazing and hard to paint. Waves can sedate or frighten. I enjoy ringing a frozen lake on a walk or run. The sounds lake ice makes energizes me, whether it is the loud snap when the ice cracks and then that sound runs the length of the lake, or the tinkling of the ice breaking up in spring. I love it.

I love the water. My paintings are of places near water, the shores, the rocks, and trees near the water where I have been and where I am.
