ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I am interested in ancient and native cultures which I capture
in my paintings in oil (on canvas).
Each layer of oil is a reminder of the passage of time, an accumulation
of something lost and waiting to be rediscovered. Each stratum represents
the knowledge forgotten or a mystery unsolved from time immemorial.
My goal, to evoke a mood, to tell a simple story with brush strokes,
at times hidden or obscured and transport the viewer to the past.
I would like the viewer to share some of the mystery and to experience
some discovery of a native people and their secrets.
