Statement:
 My abstract gesture paintings come from my interest in nature. Nature has so much to offer to artists. It has a rich variety of shapes, texture, color and space relationships.  I try to observe these when I am outdoors fishing, gardening or simply taking a walk. I think about nature when I paint even though the images are non-representational, although some paintings come out in an expressionist mode. The use of lines and strong colors which I enjoy using provides movement and energy. When I work spontaneously and fast, I feel that I produce a bonus painting. It is my hope that my paintings will provide viewers some association of nature and will inspire them with energy.
