Welcome! 
   I have enjoyed drawing and art ever since I was very young. People have always fascinated me and are my favorite subject matter. I love capturing their likeness and personalities and transferring that to canvas and paper. Nature, in all forms, is also a favorite subject matter to paint. Expressing my love of nature and the serenity and peace that I find there is something I try to share through my work.  
   Through the use of color and expressive brushstrokes, I try to convey my thoughts and feelings of the subject matter I am painting. Always trying to go one step further in the approach I use to portray my subjects, I try to push the colors a bit more or lay down the oils or pastels a bit more expressively. In the simple white winter landscape or the green trees of summer, how much color can I find?  
   In painting people or landscapes, I hope to invoke feelings of familiarity and peace, and to remind the viewer of the beauty of the everyday that surrounds us.
