As an artist, I have always found myself split between the two disciplines of photography and mixed media. My photographic images reflect the light and textures of world around me. They have been my eye looking outward. My mixed media work, on the other hand, has been my eye looking inward, a vehicle for expressing my personal philosophy

I have been oil painting for 27 years with a deep love of the sea. It is my specialty. Many of my paintings have been done on locations here in the States and overseas. Hanging onto my canvas amongst the rocks during forty mile an hour winds to capture a scene is memorable.
The travels throughout my career made way for some amazing photographic adventures. All these experiences helped to develop my passion and ever-evolving photography career. As a dedicated and passionate photographer for over 25 years, I’m constantly looking for new ideas to capture. Thank you for reviewing my work.
