About Me

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."  –Robert Frost

I've always loved this line in Robert Frost's poem because it reminds me of how life can change when you step outside the box. I took the road less traveled many years ago and it led to the discovery of a hidden talent.

I began painting professionally in 2005 and since then, my work has been displayed in shows from coast to coast. I've licensed several images that are now being sold internationally and have had my art published in books.

As a self-taught artist, I realize what a blessing it is to be able to do this and I don't take it for granted.  That's why I love giving back to causes near and dear to my heart and have donated several pieces of original art to The National Humane Society and the California Wildlife Center for benefit auctions. 

About the Art

My painting style has been described as romantic realism since there are elements of reality in every piece. However, there are also elements of fantasy and mystery sprinkled throughout that are not always easy to find in this hectic world.

My focus is mainly on creating landscapes and seascapes and while I work in acrylics and oils, more recently I've found a new love in digital art. This has opened an amazing avenue of creativity that allows me to merge the traditional fine art world with the cutting-edge digital one.

So, as I continue blazing down the road less traveled, I'd like to invite you to join me. Look for inspiration every day and take a leap of faith once in a while. You'll be amazed at where it can lead!
