Statement: My interest has always been in people. To me the human figure is the direct way of expressing human emotion and the human condition. I have always drawn and painted from a model. At times I use my drawings as starting points for my paintings. Often, however, I draw without a model present to work out the ideas of my paintings. Using predominantly oil or acrylic, I work directly, continually changing, developing ideas on the canvas. Boldness with sensitivity is the quality I admire in art, and this is the manner in which I work. This comes through in the drawing, the color, the value and the pattern. Each viewer interprets my work from the sum of his or her own life. In fact, among the whole group of observers, each will interpret a work in his or her own unique way. The important thing is that a work evokes interpretation-- causes communication. As an artist I communicate through paint. My life work has been drawing and painting.
