‘Abundance’ is just that… an abundance of beautiful organic shapes, colours and textures – nature weaving us a marvelous tapestry to enjoy. 
I’ve come to a whole new appreciation of flowers as I painted these images…seeing the soft colours which melted one into another
and feeling the flow of elegant lines throughout each piece. 

Welcome to the peacefulness of my painted garden…

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I find great pleasure and relaxation in the time I spend painting. I am visually attracted to calm and quiet atmospheres which I try to convey in my still life compositions. My work is all about taking the time to stop and look…to appreciate the little everyday moments around you. Each work usually starts with one object which I particularly admire and then I build upon its strengths by adding other elements and evaluating many different angles of light. Using a fairly limited palette, I work in many layers - accentuating certain details and subduing others…blurring the edges and simplifying shapes. I know a piece is complete when it takes on its own dimension and depth, beyond the limitation of surface and frame.

I am particularly inspired by the works of works of Georges de La Tour, Vermeer, Andrew Wyeth, Yousuf Karsh and Mary Pratt. As a child, my first painting influence was my great grandmother, Lillian Ettinger, who lived to be 101. With quiet and humble passion, she lovingly painted landscape.
