I like to paint images of places and things in which I have some personal connection. This gives me the opportunity to create works of art that exhibit realism while being expressive with color. Wisconsin, particularly here in the Madison area, has always given me an abundance of subject matter. I paint predominately in acrylic, because of the intensity of color that can be achieved. I also like to use watercolor, which allows a natural flow of the paint to create the image. Painting gives me great pleasure, and I hope to pass this feeling on to those who view my pieces.
