About the Artist

I love the line. Sometimes I am stopped in my tracks by the beauty, elegance, or confidence of a line or contour of an object. After years of experimenting with other mediums, I returned to drawing and found it a perfect fit. Working with pencil, whether colored or graphite, allows me to render those lines and contours which become drawings rich with layered color, value, and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow. My utmost delight is found in the smallest details- more intimate landscapes, as it were. I consider it a privilege to faithfully render the exquisite minutiae of my favorite subjects in order to convey the remarkable variety and incomparable splendor of God''s creation.
