I have long been inspired by the magical and luminous artwork of the Old Masters, the Hudson River School artists, and others. My artistic journey was fueled by studying French Art and History in Paris, France in the early 1990s. I’ve walked the same terrain of some of the great artists and painted at some of the same locations they did. I enjoy pushing an idea beyond its limit and pushing color so it takes a turn toward the unexpected. There is a kind of magic that happens when you are completely in the moment of painting. My work provides an initial jumping-off point and I invite you in for your own reflection and enjoyment!
