Inspired by the beauty of nature.

I am a self-taught artist; and have worked and traveled extensively throughout North and South America.

Mainly a landscape artist, I love to explore areas of beauty that may be endangered by man’s progress. I want to show what someday maybe lost to our future generations. This is important to me because I have seen so much destruction of nature in my lifetime. With climate change and an increasing population, I want to capture as much natural beauty as possible before it is gone forever.

I photograph most of the areas I discover and create the preliminary sketch and painting in my home studio. On occasion, time and location permitting, I do enjoy plein air painting.

I work almost exclusively in oils. My main pallet consists of 23 colors with which I combine ridged strokes with blending. I for the most part I stretch my own canvas which gives me the ability to set the canvas tightness that will best work with the painting I am producing.
