As an artist my desire is to share my vision with you. I enjoy peace and relaxation quietly observing water scenes. My "The Ponds" oil painting series evokes quiet moods with tranquil water scenes featuring water lily, lotus and koi fish ponds. "The Ponds" series offers a fresh approach to water landscapes blending Impressionist and realistic techniques. These all original contemporary landscape oil paintings employ strong vibrant color and line to explore nature images through light, shadow and color relationships. All canvases are edge-wrapped with the scene continuing on all the sides of the painting. Therefore no frame is required to hang and enjoy the artwork. If you wish you can frame these paintings.

My "The Villages" acrylic painting series depicts European lifestyle and architecture. In 2007 I spent the year living near Munich, Germany realizing my dream of traveling in Europe and painting these beautiful places. I was very touched by the natural scenic beauty and the uniqueness of the architecture. In "The Villages" paintings I add a whimsical folk art twist to my contemporary realistic painting style to simplify the architectural elements of the homes, stores and markets. I used my colorist technique of bright color interaction to protray the spirit of these wonderful places. All canvases are edge-wrapped with the scene continuing on all the sides of the painting and are ready to hang. As in the "The Ponds" series, the paintings can be traditionally framed.

I'm a Midwest artist now living in beautiful northeastern Ohio after many years in the Chicago area. Most days you will find me enjoying woods and ponds, painting in the studio or doing art-related business.
