Bio
I grew up in Bisbee, Arizona before moving to Bellingham, Washington, in 1993. I was a photographer early in life and became inspired to try oil painting after a friend in Bellingham introduced me to the work of Joseph Mallord William Turner. I'm still learning after 15 years of emulation. I still have a long way to go. I now maintain a studio on Bellingham's waterfront. I participate in the local artwalks and the respected Whatcom Artist Studio Tour, and occasionally show work at local pubs and restaurants. I've always tinkered with objet trouvé, and more will be coming out of the studio eventually.

Artist statement
Nature is the best instructor an artist can have. I’m constantly amazed at the play of light over the landscape of the Northwest. I especially enjoy early light—that short interval of time just before the last of the fog burns off—and evening light, when the atmosphere itself is aglow with evening’s hues. I live in an environment that can produce both vivid and somber landscapes, often both within an hour. Thanks for your vote! Find me on Facebook!
