My story is about being late, but not too late, in freeing a long-suppressed passion with full disregard for my “autumn-of-life” start. I have always been stopped in my tracks— literally, sometimes— by the fleeting natural beauty of Creation’s landscapes regardless of geographic location. Those unique moments of light, color and natural settings that have never happened before and will never happen again are what drives my brush to canvas. The rugged mountains, desert flora and incredible sunsets of the beautiful Southwest were the initial subjects of my work which now continues to expand well beyond our desert landscapes.

I work in acrylic photorealism to honor the Creator’s perfection and then translate an exact moment into a lasting image. Landscape photorealism is a blessing and a curse requiring painfully small brush strokes and an enormous amount of time, but definitely a labor of love. I continue to hone my skills through self-directed studies of past accomplished 19th-century Realists and by likeminded professionals who are willing to not only share their art but their techniques as well. 

I offer a range of products from small tabletop to large wall options and, as always, my art compositions are exclusively painted from the pictures I take, plein air or commissioned work I have accepted. I truly hope you enjoy my artwork but more importantly the moment of unique beauty it represents.
