Artist's Statement

A quote from Grant Wood describes a condition from which he and many of us suffer: taking too much for granted. Wood said, "...To my great joy, I discovered that in the very commonplace, in my native surroundings, were decorative adventures and that my only difficulty had been in taking them too much for granted." Woods' words ring with truth. My goal as an artist is to capture the wonder of the often overlooked ordinary, the commonplace beauty around us, those little details that make all the difference in our daily lives. The rough hue of rocks, lush blue woodlands, weathered wood grains, and distant meandering dirt roads never cease to appeal to me. I attempt to share the beauty from which routine blinds us. My work can be purchased on ebay or by contacting me personally.

Santa in Blue 16x20 SOLD

Santa is PUMPED! He sent the red suit to the cleaners, so he would be sharp later in the week. He donned that little blue number he wears around the house. In the meantime, he and the elves are sorting, organizing, and having strategy meetings. Things are coming together. Blastoff is nigh!
