To experience an emotion

Trigger a memory
Communicate a mood
Through the use of
Color
Composition
And light

Painting has taught me to see everything with a renewed excitement. It requires great clarity to simplify an overwhelming amount of information into harmonious shapes and values.
Martha Graham described the artist’s state of mind as “divine dissatisfaction,” a condition which “keeps us marching.”
Finding this quote helped me to understand my constant restlessness with my art, the feeling that I have more to do. I now embrace this condition and direct my passion at the task of creating. Harnessing that energy has been instrumental in my continuing efforts to grow, improve and learn.
I experiment with color, reduce my subject to abstract shapes and design my painting to my liking, all the while using my impressions from the natural world. How I translate my surroundings into art is what inspires me. Realizing that I will always have more to learn keeps me motivated.
