While preparing a meal, I noticed the visual textures and colors of the various ingredients. Our bounty of food is essential and one of life’s greatest pleasures. And, no surprise, it is a popular subject for artist who make art food for the soul.

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.
