INSPIRE – DELIGHT – CONNECT

    The story of nature is ever-changing; nothing stands still in life, but for the briefest moment, I get to capture the essence of a short interval in time. Also, I love the intimacy of painting the living world — being outside, in the quiet, with the sounds of the area (setting, surrounding) as the soundtrack — it’s magical.

    MAKE YOUR SPACE SPECIAL

    with original art you love

    Growing up in a rural setting along Lake Ontario in New York, I’ve always felt connected to the land and agricultural countryside. I’m captivated by what’s often overlooked, elevating the commonplace by focusing on the inherent beauty and emotional connection. This love of nature influences my oil paintings today.
