Decades of Education and Studio Work

Completely Original Style

After working on my painting style for more than 40 years, I have developed my own specific style, using intense physical texture and smooth resist methods. My art is not just a flat visual experience, but a tactile one. The thick layers of paint and visible brush strokes make for an interactive and exciting viewing experience.

Influenced by the Old Masters

In spite of having developed my own innovative style, I am still influenced by the old painting masters as well as figure, landscape, and age-old painting techniques. By using time-tested methods and theories, I am able to create a visually and texturally stunning work that is still recognizably artistic.
