Description
I was taking a sunset walk around Echo Park, Los Angeles, during their annual Lantern Festival. This time of day and location are exactly what I love to paint—the lakeside walk passes in and out of street light pools; festival tents glow in the twilight; downtown LA vibrates with life and is mirrored in the lake; silhouetted trees reflect spots of light. The contrast and story are thrilling!
Since my childhood in Wisconsin, I’ve been mesmerized by spectacular sunsets, the shock of storm skies, long late-afternoon shadows—all the dramatic push-pull between nature and the hand-of-man. These early impressions and experiences continue to inspire me today. They spark my imagination and shape my art.
Greater LA provides endless inspiration for my paintings. I always have my camera ready to snap reference photos of quiet neighborhoods, rushing traffic, throbbing business districts—whatever stops me in my tracks during my wanderings. Then, in my studio, I bump-up the color and crop my images to fine-tune the composition, and start painting.
My unique artistic language is expressed through intense color, deep contrast and broad brushstrokes. I paint in many layers, always trying to invent new colors. I ask myself, “Am I getting the same emotional response from my painting as I did from the scene I photographed?” If the answer is “Yes!,” the painting is done.
I challenge myself to observe my surroundings with fresh eyes and, through my paintings, express wonder in the constantly changing world—rich in vibrant color, life and beauty.
