Sobre el Artista

I am a SF Bay Area native, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Graphic Design (Illustration Concentration) from San Jose State University. I have spent most of my working life as a graphic designer in Silicon Valley, but my first love is painting. I consider myself a realist who happens to work primarily with watercolors. My main goal is trying to capture the light and mood of a subject, and translate what I see and feel into paint. The bulk of my works are landscapes, most notably of the SF Bay Area, but I also do some figurative works, slice-of-life narratives and still lifes. My influences include
19th and 20th century American realists and artists from the French Impressionists.
