There are so many wonderful facets of art. After experimenting with many different mediums my creative soul chose oil paint as it's favorite tool to express with. I use my experience, memory and perception separately or sometimes tangled together to discover new ways of shaping compositions and painting techniques. My goal is to contrast and reveal the abstract beauty in many places such as; metropolitan skylines, coastal ridges, towering forests, aerial farmland, powerful ocean waves and bucolic rustic roads.

Soaking in these surroundings colors appear more vibrant and form arises from the elements of light like fleeting magic. While working in the studio brushes are getting larger and sometimes give way to pallet knives and detail has been moved aside for a more direct response. The manipulation of the paint and some discovery by listening to what the image before me wants to become, landscapes are ever changing. It is my way of telling the story of what
I saw and would like to make real.

I earned by BFA from the Academy of Art University in 2005.

I have recently moved my studio to a new location in Inverness, CA. It is located behind Artiquity Gallery which I am also the co-owner of. The gallery hosts art events and also offers vintage items and antiques for sale. The gallery is open Sat., Sun., and Mondays from 12:00 to 5:00pm. My studio hours are the same and visits by appointment are available as well. Come check it out!
