ABOUT

I am a self-taught realist fine art oil painter, endlessly inspired by the beautiful and magical solitude of nature. Through meticulous attention to natural detail, I strive to create works that invite viewers to experience both the physical grandeur of our natural world and its capacity to reflect our inner and deeper emotional resonance and connection - the way a stormy ocean speaks to our inner turbulence, or how a serene misty meadow of trees mirrors moments of peace and solitude. My work embraces realism as a gateway to emotional truth. Each brushstroke is deliberately placed to honor nature's authenticity while revealing the feelings these scenes evoke.

My work is deeply influenced by the breathtaking natural world around us.  Whether wandering through wooded mountain paths or driving along pastoral landscapes, I find endless inspiration in the quiet beauty of forests and farming communities.  These journeys through untamed wilderness and cultivated countryside shapes my creative vision and ground my artistic perspective.
