My goal as a painter is to convey my personal interpretation of nature through a realistic impressionist manner.
Growing up in a rural Wisconsin town I developed an appreciation and respect for nature through my many hours of exploring the woods and backwaters of the Fox River. It was only natural that my love for art and the outdoors would eventually merge. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh with a fine arts degree, I began a successful illustration career, working with the traditional tools of the time (pencil, paint and brush), and then transitioning into the digital medium.
ARTIST"S STATEMENT
My dedication as a painter, as someone who needs to translate the real world into a visual poem is a life-long journey.
My goal is to express an emotional response; to capture the essence and mood of the natural world through the language of painting. To me, painting is not a literal representation of nature but a personal impression conveyed through the foundations of composition, value relationships, color harmony, edges and brushwork. These elements are what give work credibility
Plein air painting is the perfect marriage between art and the outdoors. It's nature's classroom where the concepts of light and it's ever changing effect on the visual world can be studied and observed. Because of the changing conditions of the outdoors, it forces me to concentrate on the essentials of the scene without the unnecessary details.
I have always had a deep appreciation and love for nature. It is a privilege to express that connection with paint and brushes. I am inspired by the late afternoon sunlight on the treetops along the water's edge or the rugged snow covered mountains of the west. If I can convey this emotional response to the viewer and elevate their value for the natural world around us with a sense of truth, I have done my job.
