Artist Bio

I paint what I love and what I love is the outside world. In particular, animals, domestic and wild, are what inspire me the most. 

 

In addition, my years as a graphic designer, and love of vintage papers and typography, add complexity and meaning that can be seen throughout my work. I often hear comments from people viewing my work that it's beautiful from a distance but gets more and more interesting the closer they get. I am also told that I perfectly capture the spirit of my subjects, which is the greatest compliment I can receive, as that is my goal in every painting. With every piece I create, I want to pay tribute to the animals we share our world with.

 

To create my work, I use a variety of mediums and materials including vintage papers, antique sheet music and books, stamps, maps, handmade papers, watercolors, acrylics, pens and found objects.
