Painting is my passion. Color is my inspiration. Void of form, color in and of itself can evoke energy, passion, serenity and peace. I find, through the layering and blending of contrasting hues, that a story unfolds.

My goal is to take the viewer on a journey that stimulates the senses and sparks the imagination.

When I begin a new piece, I have to submit to the ebb and flow of the paint. Attempting to force an image usually results in a muddled mess. I can hold no pre-set concepts. I grant you this same freedom.

Explore my paintings as you would the shifting spectrum of the setting sun, or the dark toiling clouds of an impending storm. Linger awhile and permit your intuitive self to come alive.
