I enjoy all things to do with art, but have a passion for drawing and painting. I draw and paint almost exclusively from life finding people, places and objects that reveal pure, natural beauty or emotions the most exciting subjects to paint. I am inspired by the work of the Spanish painter, Jouquin Sorolla and Russian painter, Sergei Bongart, as well as a number of impressionist and post impressionist painters.

I was very fortunate to have a father who was a successful illustrator teach me the basics of how to draw and paint, and share his knowledge and love of the fine arts with me.

I find it important and fulfilling to also share this knowledge and everything I have learned throughout my artistic journey, as well as my art, with others.
