" As an artist, I am always looking for provoking subject matter that will stir within the viewer some inspiration or cause the viewer to see vibrant colors and shapes that may change his or her way of seeing.

Each portrait is a new set of problems to be solved; each still life, a study of values and shapes; each land and seascape releases a new challenge."

Maureen Keough, September 2006
