dialogue with the beauty, immediacy, and honesty of a place in time. From a
young age, I've been entranced with qualities of light and varieties of color. At
the same time, I appreciate being completely present and alive within a moment.
Painting a scene, and watching it unfold, contract, expand, lighten, darken,
while responding with paint and gesture puts me squarely in the moment, and
allows me a genuine response to the life before me. This dialogue with a river, a
street, the sun, cars, helps me find my place in the world.

In 2010 my focus has been on the Willamette River and the bridges along
it. The interaction of the bridge supports & and water they pass through
provides a play of light/shadow/reflection that is a joy to paint. New this
year is my bicycle trailer which I use to haul my supplies to various
locations. This has provided me access to areas that were too difficult to
reach last year.
