Artist Statement
My art is to be simply viewed and enjoyed. I strive to make it beautiful and bring a sense of peace and happiness to the viewer. I like the permanence of art. The idea that my art can last hundreds of years and continue to enrich other's lives into the future greatly appeals to me. It's one of the reasons I enjoy working in oil.
 
 
Artist Biography
I can remember drawing since age 4. In high school I majored in fine arts and mathematics. Based on those majors I chose and graduated with a bachelors of science in industrial design from college. My major being product design. The next 12 years were spent working for advertising agencies as a graphic artist. The work was mostly pen and ink newspaper product illustration, some airbrush and photo retouching. After that a little freelance work and than a life decision to hone my social skills by going into sales. That was 16 years ago. I've kept my home studio all that time and am moving forward with a transition into the fine art field. Throughout my life I've traveled down many different roads and some detours but creating art has always remained with me.
