About the ART
Oil paint is applied using a combination of wet-on-wet and wet-over-dry applications to create layers, textural interest, and a sense of depth. Compositions include both traditional landscapes and more intimate botanical portraits. Subjects are chosen to evoke a feeling of peace and calm energy.

About the ARTIST
The subjects I am inspired to paint are inherently serene. The paintings reflect my emotional response and aspire to evoke a similar feeling of peace within the viewer. I feel that my contribution to the world is to help people re-connect with the poetic beauty of nature, and to produce pieces that inspire, awaken, and soothe.
My process begins with a walk, a bike ride, a trip of some sort . . . I take lots of reference photos and make sketches and sometimes plein-air studies. I take it all back to my studio and, along with my memory and imagination, I design a composition that is compelling to me. Lately I’ve been working bigger, which is more challenging, but also more exciting. It takes a lot of trial and error, along with faith, to get to the place where I feel like I should stop. The process is completed when a piece finds a good home.
