About Me


I am a self taught artist influenced by nature’s beauty and color. I’ve studied the light patterns and blend of color that capture the actual environment of the scenes reflected in my paintings. I like to call my work “Artistic Realism”. The places I paint are not actual places but, places I feel within, if I have swept you off to serenity making you feel like you are actually there, then you have been inspired by my paintings as I have in nature’s beauty. Someone once said “Sometimes it is just better to paint what you feel rather than what you see”. I invite you to feel the beauty as I       have in my paintings.

Artist statement

Art cannot be defined. We are born artists and spend the rest of our lives creating.


Art is everywhere. We are surrounded by it. But what we are really living in at all times is the opportunity to sense it. That elusive quality called art is presented to us on a moment to moment basis.


We can see it sprayed on buildings or we feel it in the mechanics of the cars we drive and taste it in the food we eat. We step on it in carpets, sit on it in chairs. It exists in traditional forms in museums, and operas, theater and literature, but no matter what form it takes, the unifying quality it has is that it moves the spirit.


When we realize that we are artists, life becomes beautiful. Every event that transpires can be assembled into the design and fashioned by our imaginations to become something astonishing. We can build on anything when we realize that.


Art never stands still because the world is ever moving. Art is never old or new because discovery is constant. In the established visual form, people pursue art by drawing, sculpting, designing, film making, architecture... I paint.
