My art is my therapy, it helps to keep me sane in this fast pace world. Instead of losing hours to a TV or a movie I can be lost in a painting for hours at a time.

I started painting at least ten years ago when I attended the University of Oregon as an English Literature major. My roommate introduced me to the love of painting with a paint brush, canvas and oil paints. From oils I moved to acrylic and have stayed with that medium for at least eight years.

I have yet to find a real theme to my work other than color and feeling.

When I put paint to canvas I don't picture what I want, I let the paint and canvas show me what it wants to be. I'm always surprised. I always try to let the colors stay vivid. The results may not be true to nature but I find they're always pleasing to my eyes, often very striking.

Thank you for you interest in my work. I hope you enjoy what you see.
