PERSONAL INFORMATION:

I do oil paintings, watercolors, calligraphy, designs and art photography.

Oil paintings emphasize landscapes, water scenes, flowers, animals, birds, bees, butterflies, and occasional portraits. I tend to paint with the seasons, i.e., in winter I do snow scenes, in fall the leaves turning color, in spring pastel trees and spring flowers, and in summer - brilliancy and lush foliage.

I also do photography and edit photos to add designs. I use a Nikon Coolpix 8800 camera with a TC-E17ED telephoto lens made especially for the Nikon. I love nature shots, flowers, birds, trees, etc. and as always, cats and kittens. I hope you enjoy my photos.

Calligraphy is ancient hand printing done on parchment paper using stylized scripts. The calligraphic prayer, bible verse, poem or saying is decorated with hand drawn designs and pictures using different colored inks.
