ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I have been an artist for over sixty years. My painting style has evolved from very representational to complete abstraction. The early realist
paintings were inspired by the landscapes, people and animals around me, but the abstract work is mostly inspired by just the process of painting. One idea leads to another through experimenting with the materials.
