About The Artwork
A trip to the southwest ruins of Canyon de chilly, mesa Verde and Chaco Canyon inspired this oil painting. I painted the ruins of the administration building along the busy highway that was traveled hundreds of years ago. I sensed the majesty off what was once a thriving civilization, but impacted by the ravages of Time, drought, famine and disease,--hence the decay of majesty. I was classically trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and have been painting in a realistic manner, but push composition and color to express power in my subject matter

United States
I was born in Quebec, Canada and have been drawing since childhood. I attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania while working full time, and received several awards and prizes there. I moved to Colorado twenty-five years ago to be closer to the woods, mountains, and rivers. My plein air works tend to be rendered in pastel; my studio work, in oils. My subject matter references include sketching in the field, taking notes on color, and photographing what I see. I find that my shortcomings as a photographer are a benefit to me as a painter as they leave more room for embellishment and imagination.
