I have worked as an artist most of my life. I have been fortunate to work with great mentors and teachers, including: Jean Pilk, Richard Halstead, and Marvin Mattelson.



My artistic studies have also included a BFA in studio painting from The University of Texas.

​

Prior to pursuing art as a fulltime endeavor, I built a career as a Creative Executive in Advertising and Promotion. This experience has given me a deeper understanding of client needs and has enhanced my artistic vision.



My passion is to paint people, animals, and nature subjects in interesting settings. I enjoy creating portraits and paintings that are natural and representational.



My work is created using the finest quality archival materials, including: linen, professional grade oils and mediums.
