"Of the many questions I get asked as an artist, perhaps the most common, is 'Where is your favorite place to paint?' It's a difficult question to answer because I have so many favorite places. The show here at Debra Huse Gallery features some of those places, such as the cypress groves and rocky cliffs of Point Lobos, the wetlands of Gray Lodge Wildlife Refuge, and the oak, eucalyptus and sycamore covered hills so characteristic of the landscape of California. 
These natural settings have always spoken to me, ever since I was a young boy growing up in Northern California.  Whether I'm painting or just observing, these are the places that bring me joy, spiritual fulfillment and a sense of awe 
every time I enter their realms. 
And now, I invite you to enter these places with me."
