Riverwalk Painting

I am an oil painter living in San Diego. I often find inspiration through “places” such as landscapes, seascapes, and urban scenes because of my love for travel, and because there is so much wonder and color in our natural world. I paint because I love it, plain and simple. Painting makes me happy, and it reminds me of these many places and objects I’ve seen. But I also paint to share that vision in my mind with others. My hope is to offer some reminders, in a whimsical colorful way of the delightful images that already surround us. My paintings include scenes which I hope will foster a sense of joy and relaxation, and will create places of memory which we can revisit again and again. Being an artist in beautiful San Diego, living close to beaches and many hiking trails, has allowed me to create a lot of plein air paintings inspired by the natural surroundings in the area. My daytime profession is in healthcare, but my artful spirit calls me to create again and again for over 30 years. Thank you for enjoying my work.
