"As a painter, I am drawn to the visual complexities and textures of the natural world.  My vision of nature includes both the serene and the tumultuous.  My paintings are abstract – inspired by nature, but not of nature – consisting of impressions, interpretations and memories.  I use the paint brush or palette knife, at times in bold, sweeping strokes, at times creating complex textural layers, simultaneously concealing and revealing the work underneath the surface, thereby allowing for multiple interpretations.  This interplay of the image, the surface, and the history of the painting as it evolved, allows the viewer to experience it on many levels." -- Elizabeth Schwartz
