The majority of my work is done in oil and heavy body Acrylic paint although I do enjoy the textures and affects that mixed media can create. Creating unique colors that reflect the many moods of nature is one prevalent feature of many of my works. The texture often seen in my paintings is created by applying liberal layers of gesso to the blank canvas or by heavy application of paint with a brush or palette knife.

After studying art and painting for four years at Central Michigan University, my artistic aspirations took a backseat to establishing a business career and raising a family.
It's only been within the last eight years that my passion for art and painting has been renewed. I've been fortunate to have studied under accomplished artists who have encouraged me to continue to pursue my painting in a more serious way. I have since been invited to exhibit my works in public shows and have become active in organizations such as The Dunedin Fine Arts Center, PAVA (Professional Association of Visual Artists) and the Professional Acrylic Artist- USA. I have begun to sell my paintings and have accepted commission assignments.

Nature and the outdoors are often reflected in my paintings. I am an avid hiker and mountain climber. Fly fishing the many rivers and lakes throughout Colorado and kayaking the beautiful streams and marshes in Florida gives me the perfect opportunity to be part of the outdoors . With camera and sketch book in hand I am always searching for that scene or vista that evokes a feeling I want to share and remember.
That wonder, that feeling of calm and contentment is what is so rewarding to capture on canvas.
