I cannot take a walk without picking up a pebble, a leaf, a feather or some other small bit of Nature. I cannot go for a drive without seeing a painting unfold before my eyes. I paint because every inch of my soul demands it from me. Without my art, life would be nothing but shades of gray.

I'm a self-taught artist who tried a bit of art school and decided it wasn't to my liking. I wanted to do my own thing! My first love is painting scenes from nature, but I often explore different mediums and subjects. I go where my muse takes me.
