"If you're like me, the word "hometown" conjures up a whole storehouse of memories. In my new collection, Hometown Memories, I would like to attempt to tap into that storehouse and recreate some of those memories on canvas.

As we stroll down the tree shrouded lane, you'll notice the landmarks familiar to every hometown -- neighborhood houses, people of the village, sidewalks, even a pet or two. These are the places where families thrive, children grow up and memories are made. In the distance, you will see the village church -- the spiritual foundation of every hometown.

There will be other stops on our tour of my ideal hometown, and I hope you will join me as I attempt, in these paintings, to record my Hometown Memories."
