As you know, Fine Art is more than a painting on the wall …

There is a story behind every image and behind the story, even a larger tale of the artist himself.
I’ve always been consumed with a passion for art. Even though I never had any formal training
as an artist, I spent countless hours practicing and perfecting my craft. As any person who has
pursued a life-long dream will tell you, the early days were not easy. I can now fondly recall the
times I had no canvas and was forced to paint on the backs of album covers, or my
monochromatic series that evolved because I could only afford three tubes of paint.
My style has been described as “Realism with a Magical Touch.”

I paint a variety of subject matter. I love to capture wildlife in intimate, poetic moments usually
unseen by human eyes. My landscapes are designed to transport the viewer to another world
and invite them to explore the story of their surroundings. I have the most fun, painting zany
observations of wildlife that have invaded human spaces when the family has left for their
vacation.

I will succeed in my goal, if my paintings entice all art lovers to come away with me.
