the writer james joyce believed that the best art was that which
‘grabs the viewer and arrests them and turns their focus outward
from themselves.’
it is my hope that others see that my painting can focus their attention
outward and become moved by the expansive beauty of both
the natural environment and the painted surface.
i am deeply influenced by the art of fairfield porter, tom thompson,
william de kooning, david hockney, victor higgins and all those
who search for beauty through paint.
