I am a painter who captures intimate places with simplicity and directness
The studio and gallery may be open by appointment and I am willing to have you observe me at work.
I paint to discover— to fully observe, explore, and connect with the world. I am inspired to capture familiar and intimate moments with simplicity and directness. I particularly like finding beauty in ordinary subjects. I am attracted to all themes but especially those that convey some sense of mystery or reminiscence. Thus, you will discover vintage architecture and objects, concealed places, shadows and palpable mood as part of my work.
I work primarily in oil and watercolor from life—painting outdoors and from still lifes in my studio. I also enjoy the warmth and beauty of working in copper metal for more 3D creations. My goal is to interpret the spirit of the moment, bring more abstraction into my work, and to awaken personal memories in my viewer.
