I have been been painting professionally for over forty years. as a child i always excelled in art and dreamt of having a career as an artist....... I have been strongly influenced by the abstract expressionists. many of their paintings evoke a tremendous emotional response from me.I hope to do the same in my paintings through color, exciting, provocative line work, texture and a strong composition......in my seascapes, I try to capture the ocean in a spontaneous, heartfelt, expressive way....it’s a labor of love!
