Biographical Information
Artist Statement
I am a painter in the purist sense of the word and my vision for the subject-matter is expressive and from the heart. I have a devoted passion for the landscape as well as a love for the oil medium. My paintings are completed primarily on location. Outdoors, I can react with a spirit and spontaneity that could never be achieved in the studio.
