Better Together Painting

I grew up in Colorado, sketching and painting from childhood. Then studied fine arts at Colorado State University where I developed my talents and particularly enjoyed figurative studies. Having graduated with a Fine Arts Degree my career path, in advertising and marketing, took me to a point where I owned and managed two successful Agencies. However I left the business world in my 40's to attend to my family as sadly my wife, my daughter and father, were each suffering with terminal illnesses. After years of care these three beloved family members peacefully left this life. With such a huge void in my life it was my passion for art which saved me. I started to paint once more - I was painting as though I had never stopped painting through all those years. I now work between studios in Colorado, USA and Kildare, Ireland, Europe. Specializing in portrait commissions, I love to work in watercolor as it allow me the deep contrasts of light and shade which is the signature of my artistic style.
