Introduction	By choosing to create pleasant and accessible works of art, I hope to make a positive connection with the viewer by inviting him or her to create a story or to remember something personal from their lives. I like the idea of being a part of the long history of realistic oil painters, and I enjoy painting a wide variety of traditional subject matters including the figure, landscapes, and still life. When I paint the figure, I am interested in exploring emotional connections, relationships, sensuality, and mood. My landscapes and still lifes often reflect my study of light and dark. Much of my work has an atmospheric effect, using scumbling to create soft edges. My finished work shows reality viewed through a lens slightly clouded with fantasy, and corresponds to my romantic view of the world.
