At a young age I was always drawing and have worked with various media. In later years I fell in love with oils as their richness enabled me to better capture the depth and light of my subjects.

I am drawn to the deep colors, sharp contrasts and vivid detail that I perceive around me which often comes through in my paintings. Buildings and architecture fascinate me so you'll find a lot of them in my work, but most of all it's about the next adventure and the beautiful scenery to be found there.

Having traveled around the world I've had the opportunity to see many interesting and beautiful places whether it's the seashore, the mountains, the city or countryside. After traveling to a new place, or an old familiar one such as New England where I grew up, I enjoy creating once again what I have experienced.
