​Come meet the artist!

Learning who I am as an artist was difficult for me because I don’t fall into any one label. Even though I paint landscapes, I am not a landscape artist. I paint still life subjects, yet I am not totally a still life artist. I am a painter of things I see as beautiful and that could be anything from a dead tree to a beautiful bird, a flower, a landscape, or anything that inspires me.  I might have to change my style if the subject calls for it.  And, I definitely have to paint the way I not only see it, but in the way that I feel it. 

I find myself  having a connection to the Romanticism Period, which is an era of the 19th century  where individuality and originality became more important than conformity. It became difficult to define that thing called romanticism, due to of the number of styles and methods in which artists were experimenting.
The poet, Charles Baudelaire, (1821-1867) attempted to answer the question What is Romanticism? He described it as “the most recent and the most current expression of beauty”.  He also expressed that romanticism doesn’t cover just one style, it covers many styles, and many subjects. Romanticism captures all aspects of life. Thanks to Baudelaire, I now understand my connection to Romanticism.

It’s taken me a lot of years to know who I am as an artist. I see it now, just as Baudelaire saw it. I am a painter of all things I see as beautiful.

Life needs more beauty in it.

So I paint.
