I have worked as an artist for over thirty years. My work is about the absolute wonder of nature. I began to develop my style while studying and struggling with the traditional approach to oil painting. Fortunately, when I was in search of a method that better suited my vision, I found oil stick paints. Over the years as the quality of the paints improved greatly, I have expanded my painting process and forged a distinct technique and style. M work is predominantly about trees and the environments in which they thrive. All things in nature are worthy of artistic interpretation, but I believe trees are truly magic! That such majestic creatures grow from a single seed is certainly alchemy at its finest. Each tree is magical in the unique shape it takes. I manipulate the shapes and lines I see in order to give motion and life to my landscapes. My hope is that my work will encourage viewers to be seek out the joy and peace that nature so abundantly offers.
