Artist Statement

"Oil Painting has always been a passion that I muted and even abandoned for many years.  It is something that I love to do but was hesitant to admit and reluctant to share with others.  I have always been captivated by mountains, the untouched scenery that surrounds them and the uninhibited skies which provides the perfect backdrop to showcase them.  To me mountains represent strength and respect.  They are grand, not timid, bold not average and original not copied, so no two are the same. These qualities have inspired me to rekindle my passion for painting over the last year, and have driven me to put myself out there and not be afraid to be noticed. In the last year I have been inspired by the beauty and magic of  the Northern Lights.  Many of the pieces shown on this page have been purchased but I continue to create new pieces and will be posting new pieces for view and purchase....so please check back.  

And to those people that have purchased pieces from me in the last year,  I thank you very much for your interest, your kind words, and I sincerely hope you enjoy the pieces as much as I enjoyed creating them"
