U.S.A. Statement: “People
often value paintings of a place they have visited because
they need to feel a connection with it. They want to be reminded of
where they have been. Lots
of people have a longing to be
by the sea. The freedom of being
by the coast. The sounds, the smells, the sensation
of being healthy and alive. I want
my landscapes to share in that sensation, but I don’t
simply want to offer up a superficial
representation. There’s a challenge involved in my
work. With every canvas I attempt, I am searching
for something. There’s a sense of journey involved. Beyond
simply looking at my paintings
and gaining aesthetic pleasure, I do think it’s important
that they offer up space for thought.”
