“As an artist I find myself inspired not only by the landscapes and vistas of my travels, but also by the surroundings of local color here in Connecticut, and there are other times when I feel I must paint directly from my mind’s emotions … as I merely think of a place I have loved. My work represents a collection of paintings from trips to Europe and around the U.S., as well as locations near my home, and it also includes pure abstract emotions created in my studio and in my mind.”
