About the Artist

Artist's Statement
I paint mostly in oils.  Sometimes I use a limited palette, but often use a warm and cool of each color.  I love painting En Plein Air, it is a real challenge, but painting from life either outside or in the studio is a great way to learn.  I paint a lot of landscapes and seascapes, but am especially drawn to sunsets.  My work is impressionistic, but I also enjoy painting an abstract once in a while. 
  I have been fortunate to take classes from Ned Mueller, Libby Tolley, Kevin Macpherson, Kim English, Dee Beard Dean, Larry Moore, Perry Austin, Matt Smith, Skip Whitcomb, Bill Davidson, Ken Auster and many other fine artists.

I have a small studio in the woods behind my house.  It is my happy place.

Painting requires a lot of dedication and hard work, but worth every minute to be able  to share with people who love and appreciate original art.
