Today my paintings are, in a way, a visual journal. They represent my perception of experiences that I have had, places that I’ve been, people that I’ve met and known, as well as images that have existed only in my imagination.

For each of my paintings, I use different methods of oil painting to achieve the desired result, depending upon mood, subject, size, and lighting. I may paint strictly alla prima for energetic brush work, or employ techniques of the impressionists for greater color vibration, or I may use techniques from Italian Renaissance painters to achieve richness and depth.

As an illustrator I employ an arsenal of techniques and styles depending on the needs of the client and the project.

This site is a portfolio of my work as a fine art painter, portrait artist, and commercial illustrator.
