ARTIST STATEMENT
My landscape paintings merge traditional and modern stylistic approaches to create colorful vistas of California's coast. My bold colors are partly attributed to making my own oil paints from non-toxic earth pigments. Stylistically, I am best known for creating unique, vivid compositions using line and texture to capture the wild coastal regions of California. I was born and raised in southern California and I previously lived in Big Sur. I currently reside in Santa Cruz, California. My hope is that my artwork captures the adventurous spirit of traveling and exploring in nature.
