Artist Statement
"I have always loved the colors and patterns of the landscapes where I've
lived: Germany, California, New Mexico and now, Michigan. I'm a gardener, and the beauty of
trees and fields in different seasons delights me. Farmlands and the preservation of open
spaces have been important to me since childhood, and I'm especially drawn to scenes which
reflect harmony between people and nature. The houses and churches in my paintings represent
a human presence, and the old buildings imply history and tradition. Above all, it is the
excitement of the colors in the landscape that I respond to and try to share with the
viewer". |
