Good art should entertain and enlighten and even inspire, but it must always be emotional. I hope my paintings give you a sense of joy and lightness of spirit, and especially a feeling of "connectedness" to nature, because these are the feelings I experience while painting and want to express in my work. I look for energy and drama, a kind of "persona" in nature, even the whimsical, and try to express it with paint, like an exotic flower that obviously wants to show off, or a pair of frogs that put on their fancy coats and park themselves on toadstools, perhaps waiting on the ladies. Is there a secret place where frogs and butterflies are purple? Do fish tell stories? Do pelicans smile? I hope you enjoy my images, and please visit often.

My work can currently be seen and purchased at the "Wy'east Book Shoppe and Art Gallery", "The Still Creek Inn", and the specialty gift boutique "Made On Mt Hood", all located in the Mt Hood corridor, in the forested hills of the Oregon Cascades.  Archival quality S/N Limited Edition prints are available (please email for information.)

Samples of my paintings can be seen in the "gallery" pages using the links at left and bottom of each page. Thanks for sharing your time at my site! If you wish to consider a purchase, or you just want to talk about art, please contact me using the links below.
