"I am riveted by the way light transforms the ordinary landscape into the extraordinary. Whether it's the winter sun striking the side of a white building, or evening shadows on a marsh meadow, the dramatic effects mesmerize me. The stark abstract pattern that remains when strong light and deep shadows cast their magic is what moves me. The transformation in fog or late afternoon sun, of the everyday scene into the otherworldly is what I record.
Pastels are my medium. I love their immediacy and directness; no waiting for paint to dry, no liquids to mess with, no brushes necessary; just the stick in my fingers contacting the paper. The color I put down is the color that will remain. The stroke stays as I make it; no melting, no spreading. No need for a brush. Just the stick and the paper to translate my perception of the landscape onto the page."
