I tend to be a representational painter and focus on the human figure and the landscape. Primarily I paint en plein air (outdoors) in Baltimore City throughout Maryland’s beautiful countryside the coast and at many other captivating locations across the country and beyond. When painting I enjoy capturing the light at various times of the day through the use of bold colors. Oil paints are my preferred medium. I use a combination of palette knife and brushwork. That enables me to create texture and depth in my paintings.\ \ Interpreting the mystique of the landscape and human figure on canvas is an exciting and wonderful challenge. I completely immerse myself in my painting. The texture and smells of oil paint provide the perfect medium to explore our environment. Painting outdoors affords me the opportunity to capture a piece of history and nature’s bounty. Each painting brings a new opportunity for growth and learning. \ \ \ \
