Welcome!
Within this website I hope to provide the visitor with a sense of what I am attempting to communicate through my paintings and sculpture. For me, art is a journey.
I subscribe to the theory that life is measured not in the number of breaths one takes but in the moments our breath is taken away. I have been fortunate in that I have had the opportunity to encounter, first hand, so many sights that impacted me personally.
My art attempts to share those moments and, if they impact you on some emotional level as well… then I have achieved some measure of success.

Let me know if you would like to be added to my quarterly e.mail update list where I announce upcoming shows and let intrested parties know about current projects.
Update:
Its been a very busy year so far! Sales have been good and I've been in numerous juried shows, winning a Best of Show and two First Places. Over the last few months the focus has been on watermedia and the several oils underway have gotten only sporadic attention. I have been conducting more worksops than normal and have been working subjects that lend themselves to watercolor. You will see a number of additions to my Coastal Series posted to this web site and will see more over the next several weeks as I complete four watercolors from the Florida Keys.
Finally, check out the Art Links page and visit Seven Arrows Gallery in Woodland Park, Colorado where a number of my paintings currently hang.
Thanks to all those that have purchased my work this year and everyone that has supported my work from the start!
