The environment has always been a special interest of mine. Florida became my adopted state in the early 70's when I set the criteria for buying environmentally endangered lands for the state.
I paint to capture the enduring beauty and strength fragile, natural, historical and cultural treasures. I paint in all mediums, but I particularly enjoy the liquid, lasting, and spontaneous qualities of water colors. I would describe my style as fanciful realism.
I am an award winning artist, Naval Academy graduate, Viet Nam veteran, and I live in San Marco with my wife, Mimi, also an artist.

My mantra has always been "Art is for everyone." Art should be everywhere - in the workspace as well as over the fireplace. Art has the power to calm, to transport, and even to heal the spirit in times of conflict and confusion.
A product of the 60's, I am a free spirit and strive to reflect this in my work. The process of painting fascina
My mantra has always been "Art is for everyone." Art should be everywhere - in the workspace as well as over the fireplace. Art has the power to calm, to transport, and even to heal the spirit in times of conflict and confusion.
A product of the 60's, I am a free spirit and strive to reflect this in my work. The process of painting fascinates me. I like bold, juicy colors. I may start with the brush, but I always end up with the knife. While winning awards and selling art validate what I am doing, being in class is where I grow. My education never ends; I learn as much from my fellow stucents as I do from my professors.
I like to work outside in all kinds of environments as well as in the studio. I live in San Marco with my husband, Jim, who is also an artist.
