Artist's Statement
The theme of impermanence has been central to my life and my art, perhaps because both of my parents died when I was a teenager. I find solace in embracing that all of life is constantly changing. In my art I am most often drawn to express the beauty that exists in the midst of life's impermanence by paintings subjects that are short-lived. Whether a flower, a ripe piece of fruit or a cluster of sunlit leaves, these offerings of nature spend only a short time in their fully alive form. Through studying and painting these impermanent subjects, I am constantly reminded that life is brief and the time to appreciate my own life is right now.
I paint in a realistic style that captures detail as well as form and color. While I prefer accuracy and tight finishes, I don't strive for fully developed photorealism. I want to leave an impression of my own hand at work and my personal interpretation of nature. This is more easily seen by viewing my works in person.

"Some years ago, perhaps thirty, I became a gardener. The garden I created took over a small plot of land near my back door in New Hope PA, then nearly an acre, then two. My garden, in other words, took over my life. It was the temporary nature of the perfection of my roses, tulips and peonies that was so inspiring that photography became a natural extension of the moment. It made my heart ache to know that these magnificent blossoms were nearing perfection as they were also approaching the end of the perfection, I began to record them on film…”
"Not for me are the fire-scorched reds, the too hot pinks. I need a refuge from this overheated world. I need my own cool palate, color’s that celebrate life’s sweetness..."’ I’d like to wrap myself in white, dream of a world so pure, there is no room for sadness…” What interests me most is the delicate thing. The sight of a bride enlivening the moment reassures me that the world is beautiful and can be contained."
