Artist Statement 

I am a California-based, self-taught artist specializing in acrylics.  I am mesmerized by the detail and symmetry of the orchards that blanket California’s Central Valley.  I paint on heavy paper and canvas.  The quick-drying and steadfast nature of acrylic allows me to layer to my liking.  Through a vibrant palette, I create depth and an inherent style that is seen throughout my award-winning work.  The works of Hockney, O’Keeffe and Dixon are an inspiration for me.
