A passion for Life, a passion for learning, a passion for helping people, a passion for art and design.

For years I have enjoyed the passion of a career that has allowed me to help many people. I have also enjoyed a passion for art and creativity within myself and around the world. Life is a journey, and with that comes the need to express one's creativity in whatever way possible.

I have been lucky enough to find the time and space, as well as the support of my family, to express my creativity on canvases of many types.

My artist career started approximately 25 years ago, exploring the nuances of pastel chalks. I then started using acrylic paints, adding and subtracting materials within the paint for different textures. My canvases range from Styrofoam to wood to canvas, big and small. My styles range from freehand copies of masters to abstract, as well as photography and some dabbling in sculpture as well. My biggest influences in my art have been Picasso, Matisse, van Gogh, Soutine, Richter, Miro, as well as Brison and Arranz Bravo.
