The sea, the ocean waves, rising, breaking and crashing on the shore and the movement of the water as it ebbs on the sandy beach: this is what I try to capture in my seascape paintings. In order to accomplish this I allow the painting to take on a life of its own by turning the color loose to float freely over the surface of the paper, in an abstract and impressionistic manner. The paintings are 'landscapes of the sea', the ocean used as a means of artistic expression.
