About Me

Lush Environments.
Mexico City, London, New York, Boston, Cape Cod, these living environments have influenced my painting. As different as these places are, a common thread of color, movement and mood runs through all of my work. I am known for large still life paintings, which use color and pattern to bring the viewer into, through and around the painting.
I believe that the painting must create a mood, inspire an emotion, cause the viewer to linger. I use the still life objects, the figure or the landscape as the starting point and create a strong composition around that point. Then color is added to my brushes and I paint from somewhere inside myself.
Lush still life environments, landscapes creating a sense of place, paintings that are often timeless, are the results. This is what I create.
