I love to capture the beauty of things in the natural world that might easily be overlooked.  Currently I have been focusing on trees, enjoying the dappled bark of Sycamores, seeing tree knots and moss as landscapes, and the connecting points of roots, fallen leaves, grass, and soil. 

I think painting, like music, can communicate certain truths that words fail to grasp. I believe the painter’s task is first to study what the eye teaches and then to express it using the language of composition, color, texture, and light.
