Greatly influenced by the skills, honesty and emotion of the barbizon to the tonalist American movement.

Great artists such as Osbourne, Guthrie, Paterson and in America the gentle, intimate interpretation of nature by Lathrop, Inness, Thayer and Sargent.

To reproduce in another mind the impression set upon me, not to edify but to awaken an emotion. As Lathrop said- " to be moved is to live, the presense or absense, the amount and quality of the love and soul embodied in any work is the sure guide to it's value and permanence"

To capture the beauty, soul of a passing moment, a reflection of my life experience simple and heartfelt.
