I love beauty and I love oil paints and the texture and shine they produce. I like to see the brush strokes so I know I’m looking at a work of art and not a photograph. I believe in marrying a painting to its frame and the room it resides in.

I produce mostly Oil paintings because nothing has yet been invented that has a chance to last as long. I like the feeling that my work will survive long after me.
