Artist Statement:
God's creation inspires my palette. The subject matter is beautiful, patient and limitless. Anyone who has ever stood in front of a snow capped mountain, a clear blue beach or a beautiful red sunset understands the awe of seeing something so beautiful. When we capture these moments through photo and video, it's often disappointing to find that not a single image truly captured the awe we felt. But not even the most precise painting can truly relay the beauty of a mountain or a rainfall. It is only capture through our experiences and then relayed again through our memories. So instead of creating a painting that is focused on the landscape, I focus on the color within the landscape. I try to place at least one recognizable object into the landscape so that the color makes sense. I love color. Sometimes when I am painting, I get so lost in the color, I forget I am painting a landscape.
