After thirty years painting, drawing and exhibiting locally in Los Angeles and New York,
I moved full time to Kaua’i in 2004, continuing
to make and exhibit work.
With few voyages elsewhere since except to the neighboring Islands, I am living among endless inspirations of both light and subject to present in color and line set before me.
New and different than even moments ago, ever evolving life and weather in constant motion pours over the sea and land. The people, air, ocean, animals, birds, botanicals and rainforests all combine into a tour de force of raw reality.
A unique harmony is instilled both calming and sharpening our senses to the reactions of pure
Nature evermore.
