It all started out my freshman year when my Art teacher told me that I had a gift, a natural talent, and that I should pursue Art and see where it takes me.

Well 25 years later the planted seed has grown, and now I ‘m blossoming. Fishing, waves, love and of course good music have always been an energy that runs through my paintings. The most important ingredient in my art is getting out of the way of myself and channeling the universe through me, which is something I had to discover myself, I couldn’t learn it in school. I consider myself a self taught artist with some inspiring teachers along the way. I create spontaneously through the energy of music and my surroundings. I’m trying to convey through paint what emotions, smells, and sounds might look like. In most of my compositions movement is a very important ingredient.

I’m offering my Gift to you in several different styles. Everything from commissioned photo realism, portraits, landscapes trout art and my latest genre is Live Art in front of live music. I participated in Paintings for Peace 2004 at the Earthdance festival northern California, where we painted in front of the main stage, so if you’d like some unique entertainment at a party, I create spontaneously through the energy of music and my surroundings. I’m also offering prints of some of my favorites.
