'I am a member of plein eire and paint out of doors on a regular basis. In all of my paintings I try to catch a magic moment in time when the light comes out and creates a beautiful impressionist composition. I am most interested in developing my impressionist painting style and expose my paintings to as wide an audience as possible'.
