To paint en plein air is what I most love to do. The colors of nature and the light of the open air inspire me, and I feel so very lucky to be part of it. I came to the realization later in life that I am an artist, so I feel I must make up for lost time, and I paint almost every day. When weather permits, I paint outdoors, otherwise I'm in the studio working from sketches and photographs. Oils seem to suit me best, and I regularly study in workshop settings with plein air masters such as Leonard Wren and Kim English.

I grew up in West Palm Beach and vividly remember my family's travels thoughout Florida long before DisneyWorld and I-95. While the landscape has changed, the atmosphere is very much the same, rendering clear light and intense color. I'm a wanderer by nature and enjoy the adventure of going places I've never been, but the imminently paintable beauty of Florida continues to draw me back.
