ARTIST STATEMENTS
"I paint for the joy and excitement of it."
"My paintings .....
.....are a personal response to natural beauty observed...
     .....attempt to distinguish the essential from the decorative and to
discern the rhythms, patterns and geometry in nature…
..... are increasingly layered in terms of materials and
meaning.
"I believe a work of art should, on some level, be arresting, give one pause....
embody meaning."
