I am a long time resident of Oceanside CA, graduating from Oceanside High School and then moving on and receiving several degrees from some of our local colleges. I am always on the look out to expand my knowledge by reading different books; Dali, Delacroix, Chagall, Miro and van Gogh and also taking professional classes taught by other artists.
My main studies is stained glass windows and have sold several within the western United States. I am a glass painter with primary focus on American style stained glass. My paintings are based on abstract realism and reflect a colorful expression of nature’s elements. I am trying to create my own style, but go beyond what people can see.
I’m a modern artist who uses color as well as painted lines to express emotion and subject matter. My art is universal and for everyone. My creative skills are in watercolor media and in my ability to create colorful works of art. My travels throughout the world have taught me that creating art is understanding life and the journey it takes you through.
