Plein Aire is a French painting term which means
painting outside which first came into fashion with the
Impressionists who needed the true light of nature to
capture the colors. It must be remembered, there was no
electric lighting in those days, nonetheless, I feel that
outdoor painting creates a better work than working from
photo's indoors.
The work becomes more spontaneous less worked. Working
in the nature is a hard master.

With my art I try to bring hope where there is none, to bring happiness when there is only darkness, to replace nihilism with faith in humanity. As we plead for democratic ideals all over the world, we need to remember that the most convincing proof of the fruit of democracy can be found in our own museums, concert halls, and arts curriculum
An exchange of art and culture between countries leads to a greater understanding between nations creating a more peaceful world.
Art is a journey, not a destination.
