About The Artist

I began painting in earnest in early 2011, although my artistic sense has been present all along. I believe that, as artists, our artistic vision is continuously growing through our experiences in life. A paintbrush is simply one beautiful way to express that vision. My painting style is mostly self-taught, and my work represents my curiosity about the techniques employed with oil and the way that these transform the paint into a form of personal expression. For me, painting is an ongoing journey of self-discovery, exploring and learning new techniques as I paint, whether it is a landscape, an abstract, or an impression of something in between. My love of gardening, nature, and a general sense of the universe’s presence in all things is reflected in my work. Usually, my goal is to evoke a sense of peacefulness, serenity, or curiosity about life and world around us; sometimes it expresses simply the moment in which I am holding the brush to canvas.
