“To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - is such the duty of the artist.”, Schumann

I have been expressing myself through art since early childhood. As a versatile artist, I do not follow the same procedure for each piece. Experimenting with medium, color and brush strokes help me devise techniques, on the spot, that will create the effect I am after.

 
I am particularly fascinated with the use of light to create emotion and drama. Monet believed the effects of light on a subject became as important as the subject itself - I share his profound observation.

After receiving my Associate Degree in Graphic Design and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Fine Art with an emphasis in oil painting, I worked as a Graphic Designer and Illustrator. 
My designs appeared in 3 Paul McCartney World Tour Books and I created ads featuring musicians Mick Fleetwood and Brett Michaels.

 

After several years of taking time off from expressive creative painting, I have immersed myself in my first love again.

 

One of my greatest joys in life is to share my art. It has been so satisfying to have my work exhibited and purchased by various collectors in the United States and Europe.

 

I have only begun to produce all I am capable of, so please check my site as I continue to create new paintings and drawings.
