Artist Statement
I have been painting all my life, mostly sports related art, but now for the first time I feel free to paint exactly what moves me.
Focusing on realism, I want to create a completely believable situation from items that generally are not found together, such as combining animals with inanimate objects.
Placing these animals randomly in our world, provides the humor in the unexpected that I am trying to achieve.
Although I have used acrylic paints most of my life, I find that painting in oil allows so much more depth and richness to my art.
