Whenever asked to submit a biographical sketch, I am often tempted to make one simple statement -- "I love to paint."

My experience as an artist, is one filled with exciting, challenging commissions, and interesting people. I find pleasure in exploring a variety of styles in order to express my feelings or capture a mood. The images I create in my work frequently reflect the mood swings that control my experiences as an artist.

Many people are curious about the variety of mediums that I use to create my paintings. I enjoy painting in oil, acrylic or watercolor. The medium I choose is determined by the effect I wish to achieve in my compositions. From local landscapes to imaginary impressionistic compositions, I am never at a loss for subjects to paint. I work on location when possible and rarely leave the studio without a sketchbook and camera. My work brings me great joy and it can be very demanding as well.

I constantly struggle to balance my time between the disciplined hours of commission work and the pleasure of spontaneity, painting the inspirations of the moment. Nevertheless, I am fortunate to have a career doing what
I love to do -- paint.
