I have loved creating art since my childhood, but more recently my love of painting has resulted in a way of seeing colorant light from a colorist's viewpoint. Whether I am outside painting a landscape en plein air or inside painting a still life or figure, I am still trying to capture the way light affects color and the way color can affect not only the mood of the painting, but the mood of the person viewing the painting as well.
