Every picture tells a story … in my world. Some of my work is inspired by stories told by others. Other works depict stories that I have been a part of in some way, either an event that I participated in or a moment in a beautiful setting. But most of my work tells stories about my subjects, which include both people and animals. I bring a sketchbook everywhere for capturing those stories.
Color and contrast are important components of my work. In my paintings, I favor pure rich colors that help to set the mood. Contrast — cool vs. warm, dark vs. light, area vs. line — helps to guide the viewers gaze to better tell the story. Recently my work has focused on portraits, where I seeks to portray the multidimensional nature of people’s — and animals’ — personalities. In the end, whoever we think they are at first, they have another side that is well worth knowing.
All artwork is for sale. You can purchase original artwork, or a low-cost Giclee print. I am also taking commissions. Please contact me for more information.
