The feeling of paint as it comes off the brush, the beauty of color as
it is laid down, this is what charges me. I paint from life with oils
in the alla-prima style, enamored by strokes of paint and the beauty of
blends. Impacted by the beauty of the landscape, I am compelled to express
what I see and feel with paint.
Born and raised in California, I reside in the San Francisco Bay Area
city of Martinez. I seize the opportunity to paint often and sketch whenever
there is half a moment. To create is the driving force in my life.
