"I have pursued a career as a painter for many years now. Along the way my
methods, materials and the subject matter of my paintings have evolved.
Initially, all that I wanted to paint was birds in a very naturalistic manner.
I can't remember when I wasn't mesmerized by birds and flight. They were
a very natural subject for me and my need to express the beauty that I saw
in the world no matter where I lived. The birds as subject came first and
the desire to paint followed. As I grew in ability and artistic knowledge
there was a role reversal. The painting became more important and the birds
as subject less so. My real interest and challenge as a painter became
color, value, edges and shape and how to best manipulate those core
principals into effective visual statements. Still a 'naturalist' at heart,
the landscape has become the focus of my paintings."
