Fine Art - Paintings Inspired by Nature
Nature, landscape, the human figure... these visual forms establish the primary source for my artistic journey. With roots in Cubism and Abstract Expressionism, it's natural for me to explore the plastic qualities of paint while paying attention to balance and composition.
My art work reflects a wide range in style, theme, and choice of medium... including oils, acrylic, gouache, pastel, watercolor, paper maché, and bas relief woodcarving.My work has been on display in galleries nationally and abroad. All artwork displayed on this website is for sale, unless otherwise noted. Feel free to contact me if interested in purchasing or commissioning a piece.
