My love of art began as a young child when I picked up my first brush, I have been painting ever since. I am a self taught artist and I love to create images of the natural beauty. In nature no two items are exactly alike, so to, the human form with it's multitude of facial expressions, body contortions and overall complexity is like a vast landscape with a constant array of new areas to explore. Landscape and architecture are equally fascinating to me, I enjoy the beauty created and how it blends with the landscape around it.
I hope you enjoy my paintings as much as I have enjoyed creating them.
