Listed is one of my large contemporary paintings inspired by a recent stormy West Virginia evening. Expressive in style, this work of fine art is a great way to impart bold style in any rooms. It is a statement piece that can transform a variety of spaces, such as an office or living room - adding energy and beauty. It features graphic, expressive acrylic paint coupled with thick, luscious oil paint.

...............ARTIST STATEMENT.........................................................
"My work is inspired by my home; by the lush hills and glittering rivers that drew my ancestors from their own mountainous regions of remote lands to settle in this place, their new home, now my home - West Virginia.

I revel in the act of painting; utilizing a combination of thin veils of color and thick oil paint to create a dialogue between intuitive painting and my background in working en plein aire. The feeling of place that is established through texture, color and rhythm is essential to that dialogue. Simplicity is pursued as I break down the landscape to its purest form, portraying its true essence."
