Artist Statement

"My love for aspen trees came suddenly while on vacation in the mountains of Colorado.  The beauty of the tall white trees with their watchful black eyes and silvery leaves that make a beautiful sound unlike any other tree captivated me instantly. When I traveled up into the higher elevations of Colorado where there was nothing else as far as the eye could see other than these magnificent, towering giants, I was in awe. They have a hypnotic effect on me. As I began to paint the trees I wanted to convey the sense of wonder and magic that I felt when I was amongst them.  I found that the use of gold, silver, and copper in the background of my paintings gave them both an elegant and magical feel that I desired. I continue to explore ways to make them even more magical as time goes by."
