About The Artist
Painting, for me, is not a choice but rather a way of life. My path has led me to know that seeing, and then translating what I see, is the real “truth” in my painting. I want to capture the moment, the atmosphere, the wind, and what it is that takes my breath away when I experience that first glimmer of light on the landscape. Water next to land especially attracts that “first” love of sight… but it is all beautiful, and I am especially grateful to live here, surrounded by all we see.
What I truly love is to paint from life. This may be landscape (en plein air), figure/portrait in the studio, or still life in natural light. Being born and raised in Marin County has left an indelible impression on me that remains always in my mind’s eye.
