"Be brief, use the least to say the most. Detail subtracts from the whole. To gain the particular is to lose the infinite. Painting is a solitary communication and strives to go beyond words. The painting and the viewer engage in a silent dialogue. The viewer is moved by the image alone, not by what the image depicts. The key is the imagination and its vocabulary (remembrance, hope, love, beauty and longing). Color, lines, forms and compositions can be created so that they may suggest the existence of an ideal, more perfect realm of which this temporal world (the here and now) is only a dim reflection. Sometimes the veil is lifted and this Other can be glimpsed, however fleetingly, the viewer is drawn to the possibility of its existence."

Fields, farms, marshes, and ponds all comprise the working vocabulary of a painter who glorifies the Great Mid-Atlantic region.
