“For me, painting is a way of sharing. I want to share with others an awed appreciation for the small, beautiful things in life. When I notice a line,
a shape, a texture, or a color that enthralls me and demands my attention, I reproduce my experience of it in a painting so that others can experience it as I did. I want to share with others the soft, warm, spellbinding marvel of light. Light can transform ordinary objects, giving them extraordinary beauty. As the photographer Trent Parke said, ‘I am forever chasing light. Light turns the ordinary into the magical.’”
