From the Artist

I have been painting and drawing since the age of five and have not stopped.  Art has defined
my life.  I paint nature on location in watercolor, which is emotional and inspiring.  Colors and
shapes and moods in landscapes intrigue me.

When handing pastel and oil, I try to go beyond the emotion and use various methods of paint
application.  Some are free brush stokes, some detailed, sharp forms.  Using the palette knife
to paint creates vibrant colors and texture that excites my critics.

Art maybe in the eye of the beholder; however, I feel that the artist must transcend from being
purely  technical to being an 'artist'.   Essentially, my style is impressionistic and
representational.   I have never stopped learning and experimenting in various medium.

As you go through my work here, I hope you enjoy it.  Thank you for visiting my website.
Come back often to see my new work .

I have added sections that showcase unframed work that is afford able so everyone can  own
original art work that no one else has.
