My Very Informal Bio

Everyday I am inspired by something. It’s a matter of connecting what I see or experience to how I will express it on canvas. My emotions are represented on canvas through color, texture and light. That is why I paint. Artists I both admire and have been influenced by are Anthony Murphy, Wolf Kahn, James Michalopoulos, Mark Rothko, Marc Chagall and Edvard Munch — in no particular order.

I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t painting or drawing. Without a formal training in art, I have used traveling, especially to France and Italy, as both inspiration and education. In addition to visual artists, I am inspired by an immense range of musicians, authors and composers. I am particularly drawn to structures and windows which often show up on my canvases.

If you have an interest in commissioning a canvas, please let me know.
