“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” — Pablo Picasso
Whether you are a fan of Picasso or not, you probably won't disagree with the above statement. Hi, I am a San Francisco Bay Area artist who likes to show the beauty of this world we live in with colorful brushstrokes. I enjoy painting in traditional media with modern sensibility. My style combines naturalism and impressionism to render the subject in a realistic, but not photorealistic, manner. Some of my paintings were done outdoors on location while others were finished in the studio. I also do commissioned portraits in both oil and charcoal.
In addition to making fine art, I have been a professional illustrator for many years working for museums and magazines.
I hope my artwork brings joy to you.
