STATEMENT
I am inspired by the landscape, urban scenes, and people in my part of the world. During my career as a graphic designer I made art to communicate the point of view needed by clients. Now retired from my career I respond to the beauty around me in my oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. From time to time I am blessed to travel and then I also paint what I see and feel in the destinations I visit.
