Thank you for taking the time to view my work.

Art has been an important part of me from early childhood. I eventually received formal training, but still consider myself a self-taught artist. Learning is a lifetime commitment and I am constantly inspired by the known and unknown world around me. I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to grow and express myself through my art.

My work may be categorized as impressionism/realism. How I choose to approach my subject depends on how I can bring out the best in it. If I have a vision of energy, I may choose to convey an overall feeling of movement within the piece by using obvious brush strokes. At other times my realist side takes over and I pay close attention to details as well as soft blending techniques.

My goal is to create art that I feel is necessary personally. My wish is that my audience finds my work aesthetically and/or emotionally pleasing.
