"I started out as a plein air painter. The more I painted and studied, the more fascinated I became with abstraction. Now I am more interested in interpreting nature than representing nature.

"I feel an affinity with the abstract expressionists of the mid 20th century," he says. "I share their belief that relationships of color, space, and texture can convey aspects of human experience in purely visual terms."
