Inspired by the French Impressionist painters, I like to explore new combinations of color and design to evoke an emotional response from the viewer, a feeling of peace and comfort. Travels in France, Italy, Spain and Mexico have influenced my landscape and still life paintings. I work primarily in oils in the hope my painting captures the beauty of nature for all to enjoy.
