I have a passion for the great outdoors, rock walls, gardening, skiing, and fishing. I enjoy the wonders of the natural world. The wild shouts the silence and beauty of the land and it shouts volumes. Quite a lot of my paintings are places I have visited or lived near. These wild beautiful places can touch our souls. Art is to be enjoyed. It has a different meaning to everyone making each response unique. My paintings should be considered impressionistic, surrealistic, and sometimes realistic.
