I find the inspiration for my paintings in the natural world and take pleasure in the atmospheric conditions that allow nature to show us her infinite variety.

Painting primarily in oil, I thinly layer the paint to enhance the depth of the image. With the painting of trees, I search the forest and explore the texture of the bark and essence of what surrounds and explains the trees life. For my cloud series, I make every effort to create the environment and atmosphere of weather, often in contemporary language, which allows the viewer to draw their own conclusion as to the weather occurrence
