Paintings

"Slowly I discovered the secret of my art," said Matisse, "it consists of a meditation on nature, on the expression of a dream which is always inspired by reality." That dream I interpret as my own connection with spirituality, harmony and beauty. I have always loved and painted the landscape, especially in relationship to water with its timelessness and serenity. Through nature I seek out rhythm, texture, and color. It was especially serendipitous that as I painted the lovely curving shapes where water meets rising hills, an egret silently swooped in to repeat those shapes.
