About the Artist
I am predominantly an artist with an added interest in Photography [not to imply that photographers are not artists - not by any means!]. That being said, on the following pages you will find a mix of original paintings, prints and photography works. Like many artists, I am self taught. Painting is one of the few things I am passionate about, especially landscapes. I will readily admit that I have never done a painting on location. Only a very few of my paintings have been done from photographs.
The vast majority of my work comes from my imagination. Very rarely do I have a plan for any given painting. I get a lot of satisfaction from taking a blank canvass and watching "everything unfold". To me, that is the purist form of creativity. My paintings are inspired by my interpretation of the world. In many ways, I feel the world today is "off track". I feel the subject matter of my paintings has look that takes the viewer back to a time when life seemed simpler, less demanding, and less overwhelming. I hope my works help transport you back to such a time.
