“What I love most about painting is preserving a small piece of time. I often find myself admiring the colors in an evening or stormy sky, the assorted pinks, blues, purples and yellows of white in snow on a sunny day, or the glittering of leaves against a blue sky. These moments change with the wind, a cloud or the turn of a head yet I find myself compelled to record them.”
