"I paint because I cannot not paint, if that makes any sense. It is my spiritual path, one that delivers me fron the stress of this crazy world. Since returning to Iowa I have become increasingly interested in plein air painting. Painting 'en plein air' (in the open air) is a pursuit unlike any other painting technique. It challenges me to concentrate every sensory nerve on the information in front of me. I love the experience–from sight to sound, from temperature to atmosphere, and then channeling all those feelings from head to hand, re-creating the vision in front of me on canvas. It is truly a spiritual experience for me. Painting en plein air takes me out of my mind and into peace and happiness. The message of my paintings is a simple one: "feel peace." Let the combinations of light, color, atmosphere and the beautiful landscape, wash over you and take you to a place where you can hear the sounds of the birds around you; where you can feel the warmth of a setting sun and smell the freshly cut hay. Just sit back and feel love for the perfection of this creation and remember to take a moment to stop and watch a beautiful sunset. I seek peace–in the world and within myself. Painting helps me to experience that, and I hope that my work will have the same effect on you."
