My paintings record America's scenes, flora, fauna and the myrid of people of diverse cultures. Painting in foreign countries is a must for some artist, but I feel blessed to paint for posterity the beauty in our own country and all it has to offer. Subjects of nature are always present, always teaching us.
Primiarily, I work in acrylic, oils and pastel in the academic tradition of realism and impressionism.

My strong background in portrait photography has enhanced my portraiture through a more refined use of lighting and posing subjects with a clear perception of facial structure.

My objectives are to artistically record the people of America at their very best.
Our diverse cultures, the beautiful people and the down-trodden all have their own unique place in our society and I never tire of capturing those wonderful faces and the stories they have to tell. Each makes their own origional contribution to life.

I approach each painting with the enthusium as if it were the most important work of my career.
An to date, it is.
