DESCRIPTION:Our May  Members Meeting will be  in person on May 21\, 2026 from 7 – 9 pm at the Amherst Community Church\, 77 Washington Hwy\, Snyder\, NY. ( Lots of parking behind the facility.)

My answer is not particularly enlightening. I paint because I have to. It is what I do. It seems it has always been that way. Growing up in rural western Pennsylvania left an impression on my sense of how I look at the world. It seems as far back as I can remember I have had an excitement and a need to respond when confronted with a sublime landscape.\nMy muse is the light. Iam always looking for that moment when light\, shadow\, and form al come together. I enjoy representation; however I will often alter a painting as it develops. For me\, the act of painting is one of discovery and possibility\, thus my paintings are usually more distillations than true representations.\nSo\, Ipaint. The wonder and blessing of it is that after 40 years or so\, Iam still excited\, inspired\, and curious. That is a gift.\n
