"Pattern Painting" Painting

I am an American abstract, and figurative painter. As a self-taught artist, I studied the fundamentals of art, the great artists, and all the many art movements.

I am influenced by Abstract Expressionism, German Expressionism, French Impressionism, and the European Moderns. Part of the joy I find in painting is the unending opportunity for self-expression.

My mission is to make engaging and innovative artworks. I also hope to extend an appreciation of artistic creativity to a wide audience.

The process I employ involves acrylic and mixed media. Paint and found material are combined on canvas, and I love to merge drawing with painting whenever possible.

Many of my original paintings are found in private collections across North America, Europe, and Asia. I am also fortunate to exhibit with regional art galleries. A Certificate of Authenticity ships with each painting, along with background information about the making of the piece. All the work you see is available, and photographed in natural light.
