“I am a still life painter, particularly interested in fruit and flowers. I enjoy exploring their colors and idiosyncrasies of form, which can imply gesture and personality. Each object is unique and the interactions between objects point to a story or dialogue. I’m an enthusiastic gardener and my paintings often include subject matter that I’ve grown.”
