About Me
“True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.” Albert Einstein

Creating art has always been an essential part of my whole being, providing a wonderful creative outlet throughout my life. At an early age, I learned of my fascination with the beauty of things around me and soon developed a preoccupation with expressing my impressions of that beauty through art.

I am primarily self taught and I learn something new each time I complete a painting.

About the Blog

I started this blog in June 2006 as a promise to myself; a promise to stop suppressing that irresistable urge to create. For too many years, I put art on the bottom of the priority list. I’m now fully committed to making art a part of my daily life. I’ll post a new original painting in oil at least twice a week. All artwork on this site are for your viewing pleasure. Most will be available to purchase directly from this site through PayPal, or other payment methods.

Comments and questions are welcome, and always answered. Thank you for taking the time to look at my work.

About the Work

The beauty found in nature often overwhelms me. I am constantly in awe of the multitude of natural patterns and designs to be found. Nature is beautiful in both its simplicity and complexity. I never grow tired of looking at the clouds in the sky, or the way the sun seems to light trees ablaze as it sets.

I am most inspired by the rural, agricultural, and natural landscapes that surround me. I especially love farms, open spaces, especially the rivers, lakes, and mountains of the Adirondacks. My recent work represents the landscape in a way that expresses my love, awe, and appreciation of its beauty.

I hope through my art the viewer is able to experience, even if for a moment, the beauty that is all around us.
