I am primarily a landscape painter. The interior and exterior landscapes that surround me are my favorite jumping-off points. I push and pull color around these forms to find combinations that feel right. I am not restrained by local color or the rigid rules of perspective. The application of paint, the resonance of colors against each other, the muscularity of shapes, and the temperature of light and dark are my guides. I split my time between Dallas, Texas, and Yarmouth, Maine. I paint smaller paintings, often outside, in Maine and turn those into larger paintings from my studio in Dallas.
