For decades I have been captivated by expressing my love for travel and nature through painting. I've loved exploring even the quietest corners of the earth and thus have turned to painting as a means to document these impactful adventures. In my paintings I attempt to capture small everyday images that portray the beautiful simplicity of life that's often overlooked. I originally began studying acrylic and oil mediums when living in Pittsburgh. Through these studies I've found myself particularly drawn to oil and have fallen in love with the ability to carve out life's raw moments on canvas using a palette knife.
