See the beauty in whatever is in front of you...

Thank you for visiting my website!  All paintings here on my website are my original oil paintings, and many of them have been award winning paintings. 

Artist's Statement:

Understanding the nuances and details of my subject before I paint it is critical.  It is not that I want to capture excessive detail in my artwork (although I consider myself more of a realist painter).  Instead I want to capture the energy with which the subject presents itself in life, and convey that energy in my painting.   My hope is that the viewer can recall a personal memory, a dream, or an event that is brought front and center while viewing my art.  

Art is about feelings and emotions. While viewing one of my paintings, if the viewer or collector says  “I feel like I have been there”, that is success for me.

I hope you enjoy the collections as much as I enjoy bringing them to you!
