Inspired by the simplicity of every day scenes, I work to bring those items to their extreme through an expression of dramatic color and exaggerated light. Living in the Pacific Northwest, I'm surround by natural beauty but the depiction of landscapes and street scenes comes from an interpreted existence rather that precise physical locations.

When I begin each piece, I allow the paint and colors to move me. I don't typically have a carefully mapped out plan for each painting, but rather just an idea or focal point that develops throughout the creation. An emotional interest is the true goal in my work. Creating a mood, reflection, wonder....something which allows you to escape each and every time you take it in.

I've always been intrigued by vivid colors and textures and through countless hours of experimentation and practice, I have become a versatile artist depicting landscapes, cityscapes and street scenes, abstracts and unique color studies. 

Much of my recent work is done with a pallet knife, which can provide intricate detail while still leaving a lot of room for your interpretation. I use oils and acrylics and paint on a variety of surfaces including, canvas, board and Plexiglas.

My art is collected by both private parties and corporations.

As a diverse Artist working in Oils and Acrylics, my art has many different styles and themes. It's my hope that you'll spend some time looking through this site and that you'll enjoy my work.
