Artist Statement
Someone viewing one of my paintings
not long ago said "I want to live in your art" to me. Not only was that a welcoming comment for any
artist to hear, but that statement made me realize it's exactly what and why
I've been creating. Simply I'm painting
anywhere I'd really enjoy being at any point in time; take me there.
Artist Biography
I'm a fine art oil painter with a
strong focus on landscapes.
My first experience with oil painting
was when I was 13 years old and really loved experimenting with them for a
couple years. After a long hiatus, much
older, and now with a different point of view, hundreds of miles trekked
through the forests, I've come back to oil painting a renewed enthusiasm and
zest to recreate all that my eyes have seen.
Recently I had the joy of experiencing
multiple pieces being selected for Juried Art Exhibitions at both the Lake
Placid Center for Arts and Adirondack Artists Guild.
When I am not painting, I can be found
hiking in the wilderness of the Adirondacks or enjoying the beautiful shores of
Maine with my wife. Anything outdoors.
