Artist`s Statement

“There is an undercurrent, the real life, beneath all appearances everywhere. “

-- Robert Henri

    “The Art Spirit”

 My initial attraction is always to the people of any particular place I am visiting.  I am interested in the unique character of their culture as evidenced and expressed by the daily routines of everyday life.  In my figurative work, I try to communicate that character by capturing a fleeting gesture or attitude or simply a moment in time.
