Education
I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Studio Arts from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, 1985, and minored in biology exploring the possibility of medical illustration

Exhibits, fairs, galleries
I exhibit and sell art at select Hermosa and Manhattan Beach Artwalks and Fairs and have sold in Manhattan Beach and Palos Verdes galleries, I am expanding the exposure of my artwork to out of state exhibits.

Style
I combine classic yet contemporary techniques and harmonious combinations of more tightly rendered and loose brushstrokes. I use color to entice the viewer. The browns, ochres and golds of my sepia toned paintings convery nostalgia and my full color pieces introduce unexpected combinations to lead the eye around the work and leave the viewer visually entertained.

I paint from my heart
There is something personal and identifiable in each piece. Some noncommissioned pieces are painted to satisfy my heart, such as the vineyard paintings, most of the sports series, most of the still lifes and the patriotic pieces.

Commissions Varying
In addition to earlier commissions for scientific and medical illustrations, I currently paint for clients the subjects of their particular sentiment. This includes specific cities and landscapes, pets and homes, customizing to clients' decor and color scheme.

Clients
For the Truman and Elliott Law Firm, I created a three panelled landscaped of Los Angeles including city and ocean-scapes that are both striking and pleasing to the viewer.

Most of my clients have been in Palos Verdes and Manhattan Beach, California while some clients have ordered pieces from out of state as well. I paint home portraits, family composite portraits, wedding and honeymoon sites and essentially bring personal taste and sentimental beauty to the commissioned piece.

Unique Subjects
Among the work I paint from personal inspiration are patriotic pieces.

Custom Personal Painter
