Figurative Street Scenes, Landscapes, and Still Lifes in Pastels, Oils and Water Media

Artist Biography 

 
“Impressions" is the way I would best describe my painting because I try to capture moments in time on canvas using light and color.  I love light.  I love the way it sparkles and defines the abstract qualities of figures and shapes.  And I’m fascinated with color – the intensity of it – the ability to set mood with it – the ability to define space with it.  These are the qualities I try to bring into my painting.

I enjoy working in all the  mediums – oil, pastel, watercolor and acrylic and I find that the change of pace keeps my work fresh and continually evolving in new directions.  I especially enjoy painting cityscapes where people play a major part in the scene and landscapes en plein air when the weather permits.


After receiving some basic education at Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida I became essentially a self-taught artist.  I also learn a great deal from observing other artists, though, and in recent years I’ve had the privilege of taking a number of workshops from the local professionals at the Art Students League of Denver including Doug Dawson, Kim English, Quang Ho 


In addition to its fine teaching staff, Colorado is also blessed with many wonderful art associations of which I am a member.  It’s been an honor to participate in many of their juried shows.  

Thank you for expressing an interest in my work!
