Wharf to Wharf 2007:
“I am inspired by the natural world. My small paintings are created in plein air, in the open air, where all my senses are engaged in an effort to capture the mood of the light on my canvas. I love to mix color and watch a painting develop. My paintings are windows onto the harbors, wetlands, beaches, and farmlands that make up the Central California Coast, and lands visited in my travels. I seek to evoke nature as a calming, healing force in a world that is often unpredictable.”
