My passion as an artist began early in adult life, where an innate fascination for the sea took root. The ocean is a powerful muse providing an endless source of inspiration. Like the rise and fall of a crescendo, the sea bestows a feeling of increasing intensity with a dramatic force that feels exhilarating, captivating, yet terrifyingly beautiful.

During the process, I immerse myself in the environment, spending countless hours observing the subtle shifts of light and color throughout the day. These observations are what allow me to infuse my paintings with authentic light and emotional depth. This passion for the sea has shaped my journey as an artist and has led me to focus on seascapes rendered in the rich medium of oil paint.

My style is representational, utilizing a glazing technique of many thin layers to create a translucent effect that provides depth and emanates light from my paintings. Each brushstroke is an attempt to bring these elements to life, inviting viewers to step into the scene and feel the tranquility and power of the ocean.

I’ve served seven years as Marketing Director and past President of Morro Bay Art Association. I’m currently represented by Gallery at Marina Square, Park Street Gallery and exhibit at Art Center Morro Bay. I’m a current member of several local art organizations, Portrait Society of America and Oil Painters of America.
