My work is influenced by the French and Russian Impressionists and Delacroix as well as with roots in Modern Art of Matisse, and influences by Robert Henri and Frank Vincent DuMond. I am an Impressionist & an Abstract artist. I explore new ideas, methods and points of view with a basic abstract foundation capturing light and space. Each of my paintings begin with a strong sense of the present holding true to the reason I was first attracted to the subject. I build my image, choosing medium, method, color, values, and composition. My approach is direct alla prima applying conscious strokes hopefully conveying what I want to communicate.
