Beauty is found in anything that delights the senses, nourishes the soul, fires the imagination.
I try to create paintings that are a window for the imagination. If people look at my work and are reminded of the way things once were, or perhaps, the way they could be, then I've done my job.
The worlds I paint leave a lot to engage the imagination by hinting at what lies beyond the four edges of the painting.
I love audio books, and when I paint I'm always listening to a book. I find that my imagination really takes flight in the painting process when I'm listening to audio books.
