I am a painter because I can't imagine otherwise.

The process of designing and painting the figure or still life is what makes me eager to work in the studio everyday. I work only with natural light and from life, no photographs, allowing me to capture the subtle shifts of light and subject. For me the process and the physical space is almost intoxicating.

I developed a method of painting in oils on linen without turpentine or mediums. The result I find is a much more pure and vibrant painting. I apply the paint in layers weaving together colors and values, using line and shape as visual guides through the work.

Welcome.
