The bold forms of flora in sunshine and deep, mysterious shadows of the Everglades invite artistic exploration. As soon as I master the nuances of one view, the majesty of a cypress grove, a wind-riffled meadow in warm sunshine, or swirling clouds in a multitude of blues provide a new source of inspiration and challenge. Using established art principles to begin and intuition as the work progresses, I paint the landscapes of Florida moving from abstraction to realism. My images are ancient and familiar—palms, prairie, water, and clouds. Through them, it is my fondest dreams is that you will hear the voice of the Everglades through my work.
