Places dear to me — the beaches and marshes of Sunset Beach in southeastern North Carolina, near my hometown, Tabor City — are reflected in my art. With oil paints, working from memory, observation and my imagination, I paint scenes of deserted beaches and tranquil marshes below vast skies of clouds, sunrises, sunsets and moons. Exploring color and light, shapes and forms, I create colorful, contemporary landscapes that are not just depictions of familiar locations. Rather I seek to capture a bold yet quiet impression of everyday nature — where the colors of sky, earth and water converge on the horizon.
