I love to paint people. I love their interactions with each other and their environment. I love the character that makes each of us unique, as well as the everyday experiences that tie us together. I search for both the differences and the connections between individuals. And I love realism. The way light plays on three-dimensional surfaces excites me, explaining to us the reality of our world and fusing all things individual into a single connected image. With all of its complexities, realism is still the most straightforward way that I know to share my thoughts about the character of people, their relationships, and their lives.
