Stay for a Little While Painting

I’m a self-taught contemporary artist from Portland, Oregon, best known for vibrant and heavily textured Contemporary paintings. I love painting pears and always find creative ways to reinvent them. Another favorite subject for me is hummingbirds. I have had incredible stories associated with my art and how people have related their personal experiences to it. It is the best feeling when your art can reach out to people and tell a story in one way or another. I have been chosen to take part in juried art shows all over the world. My recent shows include a contemporary art show in Barcelona, Spain; I was one of 5 artists selected from USA, only 122 artists selected from 45 countries worldwide. One of my paintings won the 2nd prize for the best contemporary painting with a strong inspiration behind the piece. I have had shows in Florence and Bologna, Italy, Chelsea, New York and my most recent Solo Show in Cannon Beach, Oregon. My art is also part of a permanent display at a prestigious art gallery in Florence, Italy. All my paintings tell a story of love, compassion, relationships. My art is vibrant and colorful, I want people to be drawn to my art and have them find their own inspiration in the pieces that I create.
