“My work examines the moods and character of water, and the multitude of visual patterns it presents through reflections, ripples or waves. In my paintings I depict the effects we witness on our many lakes and the Pacific Ocean – the sense of rhythm and movement, the glance of light on the surface, the patterns and colours that convey the inherent qualities of the water that surrounds us. They capture both the universal dynamic we all recognize from time spent near the shore or on a boat, as well as the ethereal moment that occurs under unique environmental conditions. I want my paintings to resonate with the pleasure we take in noticing these marvelous patterns in nature and to give us a chance to take a second look at a fleeting moment that we recognize in our mind’s eye.”

"The artist produces for the liberation of his soul.
It is his nature to create as it is the nature of water to run down the hill."
W. Somerset Maugham
