My work is an invitation into the intimacy of my still life world. It is successful when it has tapped into the senses. The viewer should detect the faint scent of overripe fruit. Their taste buds should be tantalized by the sweetness of this fruit. They should want to reach out and touch the soft folds of the quilt. The eyes should move around in the painting searching for detail and be excited by the design. They should hear peace and quiet in the stillness of the moment.
