Artist's Statement

My surroundings give me inspiration for my art. I focus in part on design and composition but mainly on basic shapes that I see around me. By stripping off detail I am able to appreciate the quiet simplicity of objects in the landscape and still life. It is this simplicity that I strive to capture in whatever I paint.
