What Collectors Are Saying


"Plein air work with a lyrical quality and energetic brush work, drawing us in for a long, lingering, introspective visit." - Thursday, June 16, 2011 Issue of Informed Collector


"An honest take on the landscape we might pass by every day. It finds a beauty in the forms of industry and the human presence. Like a visual interpretation of Willa Cather's abstracted description of the plow in My Antonia, the painting show's how man's presence and nature's power push and counterbalance." - Michael Gormley, RayMarArt Judge for March 2011
