My work is currently in Ryan Gallery
in Lincoln City, Oregon 97637.

I specialize in realistic/impressionistic oil painting. I am a native Oregonian and love the diverse seasons and temperaments of Oregon, which you will see in my work.

Whether I am painting gardens, landscapes, a still life, or orchards the atmosphere and spirit are important elements. Art is important because it enriches our view of the familiar and of the world.

The artist is a perceptual window. A dark, rainy day is not so gloomy if we focus on the brightly colored umbrellas. And just as a smile encourages the weary, a painting should encourage the viewer.
