My Story

I have had the privilege of living all over the world and I forged my love of art while living in Europe as a teenager. There I was able to experience so many different forms of incredible art. I was inspired by the mastery of artists like Michael Angelo, Rembrandt, and Vermeer, their work was full of meaning and seemed to glow with a life of its own. Thus began my desire and journey to learn how to use color, value, and form to tell visual stories. Stories that I hope will impact the hearts and minds of those who view them. Painting is my way of communicating with the world. 

I work in oils, acrylics and pastels. I use multiple styles to more effectively convey the emotion of the piece I am creating I have  art in twenty countries around the world.  Many of my works have been created before live audiences. I have also had the honor of instructing award-winning artists.

I currently reside along the emerald coast of Florida where I am continuing to paint and pursue my dreams.
