About Me

We all share a special connection with the power and beauty of nature!!

Each of us can recall incredible moments that we've spent outdoors among the flowers, in the presence of a special tree, enclosed in a forest, or made small by the immensity of mountains. We've all experienced the peace and healing that nature can bring us.

Seasons change, flowers fade, and time is always moving forward. The miraculous moments we share in nature's amazing garden get left behind as we carry on with our busy urban lives.

I paint in an attempt to stop time and to capture the mysterious vitality of those special, transient moments in the natural world. I want to bring these visions indoors as inspiring reminders of our intimate connection to nature and the unforgettable events of great beauty in our lives.

My Philosophy

To create a painting I start with a drawing, or I scan a didital photo. I hand brush and blend the pixels using a digital paintbrush stylus. I use the exact same motion and technique when I apply a traditional paintbrush to canvas. I love painting this way; I have total control over color and light, this allows me to bring out the emotional expressiveness of the image. When the digital painting is complete, I transfer the image to fine artist canvas using rich UV archival pigments and a state of the large-format giclee art printer.

Artist's Statement

"My goal as an artist is to convey the joy of life through my artwork"

"Whether I paint a landscape, or an seascape, I try to impart more than just a color that will match your decor: within each painting is a positive vibe that will hopefully put a smile on your face, take you away to a faraway land, or simply welcome you home after a tough day.

My theory is, surround yourself with positive energy, and you can be sure that it will project through you! If your surroundings are dull and un-inspiring, you will always seem to lack that pep to your step.

On the other hand, pick out a painting or two that catches your eye or inspires you you'll definitely feel energetic!"
