Primarily a self-taught artist, I enjoy painting stories where I can immerse myself in another place and time. If I find myself on this accidental journey where I wonder about the people, their lives and daily struggles, even their hopes and dreams than I am happy. My hope is to share the journey through my painting and use of color.

My favorite quote comes from artist Maxfield Parrish:

"Probably that which has a stonger hold on me than any other quality is color. I feel it is a language but little understood; much less so than what it used to be.... I hope someday to express the child's attitude towards nature and things; for this is the purest and most unconscious. For after we have 'gone through it all' we seem to come back again some day to our first impressions, with just a bit of worldly experience thrown in to make us conscious how delightful they are."

Thanks for checking out my portfolio and for supporting self-representng artists!
