My work is grounded in close observation from life using classical techniques to capture form, volume and space. Light can reveal forms. Painting how light gives ordinary objects immediate presence is thrilling.
At the Angel Academy in Florence I was directed, coaxed and guided to learn how to start step by step. I practiced creating figures and still lives into drawing and paintings with lifelike form.
You can become immersed in the stories in front of you.
I draw and paint from life and often use photographs to give me those details, shapes, colours that, when working from life, become illusive and so very changeable. In wanting to create a moment I must use reference of that moment.
Why? As I paint, I see. This is my great love - to see revealed what makes up what I look at.
It will be a pleasure to welcome you to my Studio.
