I am a self-taught narrative/landscape artist working primary in oil paint. I draw inspiration from what’s around me. Everything to broad landscapes to simple narrative scenes of everyday life. I tend to paint subjects and scenes from the season I’m in. Summer in summer. Fall in fall. Except late winter or early spring then I paint the season I want to be in. Summer.

 I've learned to have patience in the painting process. The best results are not rushed. I work in multiple layers of paint letting each new layer interact with the last.

As part of my process, I apply artistic effects to transform the image into a reference for an oil painting looking for the best color and composition options. I know I've gotten it right when say out loud, “that’s a painting”.
