I am a self-taught watercolorist. I have traveled a great deal in my life both for work and for fun and I became motivated about eight years ago to paint some of the many sights, colors, and beautiful scenery I've encountered while traveling.

I am especially inspired by birds in their natural environment and by nature in general. Even the abstract works I have recently completed reflect elements of plants, forests, or animals. Conversely, I also enjoy painting cityscapes as well because of the busy movement and the variety of colors and energy in them.

I have painted stylized portraits of people and I am constantly looking for new and better ways to create interesting figures. I have recently found painting portraits of people's pets to be great fun and welcome commissions to create pet portraits.

My work is in various private collections and examples from my portfolio are available upon request.
