" Painting is my first passion. I hope to live out my life to the end with a paint brush in my hand. Although I have painted many portraits the still life has held a particular fascination for me because of the many possibilities it presents to a creative imagination. If you combine it with landscape those possibilities become endless. Choices of objects are made based on color, shape, tone and texture as well as for their prodigious or symbolic characteristics. I enjoy manipulating illusion to create a unique situation which exists only within each painting. I have worked for years to perfect my technique while attempting to maintain the integrity of both the compositional design and the brush stroke because it is after all still a painting. There are many historic and contemporary influences in my work. Two of these are Dutch still life painting and trompe L’oeil or that which “ fools the eye”. My work has often been referred to as surreal but I prefer to think of it as metaphysical, a place just beyond physical reality."
