My pastel and oil paintings draw deeply from the Impressionist Masters-Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne and John Singer Sargent. Their influence guides my exploration of light, shadow, and the subtle gradations of color. I focus on the interplay between these elements to evoke the quite, instinctive ways human perception responds to beauty.
