This grouping is a range of imagery, intimate spaces or broad vistas celebrating the richness of nature. We often take for granted what nature gives us. I like to find unusual views and celebrate their beauty.

Nature Nurture

This group of small paintings are of rich, sculptural summer clouds with a deep turquoise background multi-layered sky. Definitely a subject I never tire of.

Summer Clouds 1

Another collection of small cloud paintings, this time with a warm cobalt blue background.

Summer Clouds 2

A series of oil pastel & graphite combinations on paper. PRINTS AVAILABLE.

Mix Media

A wonderful selection of drawings done in dark silver grey graphite. PRINTS AVAILABLE.

Drawings - Graphite

This is a selection from many pastels of grasses, streams and fields. As I've drawn from life for so long, it's nice to be expressive in my imagination! PRINTS AVAILABLE.

Field Studies Series 1

A selection of complex clouds during winter and simple landscapes in watercolor. I love very expressive use of watercolour to engage the imagination and create drama!
PRINTS AVAILABLE.

Winterscape Series 3

I like to challenge myself by working in different media. Watercolors certainly are challenging! They are not nearly as forgiving as other media. Changing up media re-invigorates my favorite themes and most preferred media. The great Wolf Kahn stated that artists have a "signature" media, one that influences their style and use of other media the most. These watercolors are influenced by the fabulous work of Thomas Gainsborough, the master of skies. He lived during the late 18thc - early 19thc in Britain. He still influences contemporary masters today. What a legacy!

Constable Clouds

This work is mostly monochromatic paintings of landscapes and objects. Much of the inspiration is from my imagination. These works are "drawn paintings", using the canvas as the source of light. I push/pull the paint to get the shapes, textures,  subtle value changes and details. They have a strong impact viewed from a distance, but an intriguing myriad of complexity seen up close.

Into The Other Land

I often go for walks to get a breather from my studio, clear my head and be open to visual "surprises". These images are based on walks around my neighborhood. The series is reflective of the techniques from Into the Other Land, but with more abstraction in the painterly process. As a former designer and photographer, these skills are very evident in the preparation of each piece. I will continue painting in both series as they are a wonderful challenge and balancing act between hard-earned skills and free flow experimentation.

Avenue Walk

This series is all about large billowing clouds. My goal is to build their cathedral like structure without diminishing the diffuse atmospheric softness. Often other cloud systems will intervene in the stories such as lower, denser stratus clouds that appear to be on the verge of rain. Lighting is often mid to late summer days or just approaching the "golden hour", which is just before sunset. These works are very complex to paint, done in many layers.
