Artist's Statement
 

imageFor over 30 years I used the baton to shape the form and feelings of the music I conducted. Now, I use a brush and paints to capture the form and feelings of the gentle yet foreboding essence of nature.

I believe that a landscape is a living and breathing ‘still life’: nature changes. I don’t copy what I see but paint the experience nature has left for me.

Artists in any field need the response that their work has touched something in the viewer. I am grateful for the time you have spent looking at my work.

Thank you.
