I picked up the creative bug years ago after realizing how much I enjoyed sketching, while on vacation cooped up inside waiting out a rain storm. Thanks in large part to encouragement from my wife, I expanded my creative endeavors and have spent endless hours in the studio and outside creating compositions that make me smile. My art tends to reflect my life’s passions and experiences, landscapes explored traveling with my wife, exploring the great outdoors, playing with our dogs, and the occasional cheeky cultural piece.
My preferred medium is oil, but I enjoy drawing as well, so there are the occasional projects based in graphite.
