Welcome to my online gallery! 

I hope you enjoy a virtual tour of my paintings. Each one has a story, and together they represent 40 years of my career as an artist.

Throughout my life, the creation of art has been my path and the vehicle through which I express my inner self.  My desire to capture beauty and perfection through painting has driven my thoughts and shaped my life, urging me to see more clearly and work more skillfully in order to understand and accomplish my ever-expanding vision.  The joy of being able to convey a mood, a sense of wonder, or a feeling of peace is the ultimate reward.

I paint in the style of photorealism, working in oil on smooth canvas with many layers of semi-transparent glazes.  This technique is called “trompe l’oeil,” ordinarily seen in the elaborate still life.  I have translated this style into paintings which reflect my life experience and my enjoyment of nature.  Although I have painted a variety of subjects, living along the California coastline for many years developed my fascination with painting seascapes, and I continue to travel to remote beaches in an ongoing search for inspiration.

I will be forever grateful to my family and friends, my collectors and clients, and especially my daughters, Dawn and Melanie, for their unflagging support and help with my art.  Thank you.
