Thanks for visiting my site and viewing my artwork. I hope you find something you like as you browse, and that you’ll soon have one of my original pieces of art or a museum grade archival print on your walls.  

I am a self-taught award winning international abstract acrylic artist, author and musician. I have traveled to over 100 countries seeking inspiration for my paintings over the past 10 years.

I have been told that looking at my paintings is comparable to lying on their backs, looking up at the clouds and trying to interpret the shapes that they see. I don't know about you, but that sounds like a whole lot of fun to me!

The heart and soul of my paintings emanates from vividly seeing colors and shapes in my daily life and from the adventures that I have had all around the world. I have been passionate about abstract art since I was a child. Most of my paintings attempt to capture a dream that I have had at some point in my past. Music plays a key role in conjuring up day dreams, which many times I even have a hard time understanding. Somehow, between my head, heart and hand, I reproduce these dreams on canvas for others to interpret with me. 

Of course, in every place I’ve traveled I’ve also been inspired by the art I've seen in galleries and museums. I have especially enjoyed the works of Wassily Kandinsky, Joan Miro, Alexander Calder and Jackson Pollock. My artwork is a reflection of my life’s journey, adventures and experiences and I’m thrilled to be able to share it with you.

Inspiration

I find my inspiration in colors, shapes, dreams, music, travel, animals, technology, architecture, love, passion and relationships. I also find it while dealing with life’s every day challenges. I have loved abstract art my entire life and, as a result, have surrounded myself with it. I display original art from 20 different artists and 10 countries in my home gallery.

Techniques

I paint using acrylics and mostly with brushes and palette knives. I use texture quite a bit in my paintings. I also use high flow paints to create certain pieces. Most all my work will be finished off with high gloss, which really make the colors and texture pop.
