What’s more relaxing than late day fishing on a still river with your best companion while admiring the celestial landscape? What would make this moment in time more meaningful and inspirational? A syzygy! A what? When the sun and moon appear together in the sky…moonrise and sunset at the same time.

Artist's Statement:

As an artist, my work leans towards figurative art, and in some cases, it can be categorized as alla prima brush work or impressionism. I attribute this to my spontaneous depiction of the subject matter that to the passing eyes may only record it as a blur. My objective is to capture these fleeting moments for others to witness and enjoy.

I believe art should not only be decorative but also tell a story…to educate and stimulate the viewer. The spectator should never stop learning with unexpected wonder and enjoyment.
