Meet the Artist

Van Gogh once suggested that artists should listen to the language of nature. While my work is often spontaneous and intuitive, I also strive to be a thoughtful "listener." As a colorist, I enjoy celebrating color and exploring the mystery of color relationships. Much like a visual diary, I love how painting serves as quiet, yet powerful and personal, record of my life.
