Having been strongly influenced by realism and impressionism my painting style is a combination of the two. My medium of choice is oil but my contemporary pieces are often acrylic.
My favorite subject matter combines land, water and sky. I am inspired by the graphic elements found in nature and the varying textures of these elements. The play of light across a scene is also especially intriguing to me. I interpret the colors of nature in my own way, encouraging them to be vibrant and sometimes unexpected.
Lately I have been focusing on the tranquil yet dramatic images of marshes.
Thank you for your interest in my work and for visiting my site.
