Artist's Statment

I really like barns. Most of my life I've wanted to live in a barn. I started making painting of houses and barns when I moved to Vermont. I lived in a white farmhouse with a red barn. Most of the houses in Vemont are white, most of the people are white and the ground is white a good part of the year. I needed some color!! When I painted an orange house with red trim, it took off from the earth and all of them have stayed in the sky ever since!

I paint with oil sticks which are like giant crayons, but are made of oil paint. Like oil paint used with a brush, it dries hard and this allows me to paint many layers. I work to create rich color and textures and compelling color combinations.
