PORTLAND, OREGON, United States

Much of my work is an internal reflection depicting a scene, a moment in time or a feeling of a place I've been. I am particularly inspired and awed by the striking terrain as well as the tumultuous and temperamental skies of the Pacific Northwest. The incredible beauty of the natural world holds endless inspiration for me. I often return to certain themes, forms and compositions and in doing so, landscapes become my prevalent focus and trees, water and skies have a special fascination as their imagery frequently appears in my paintings. Rather than represent each setting with a faithful accuracy to the original physical source, I strive to capture and evoke a sense of spirit and emotional intimacy using shape, color, light and space.  Welcome.
