Profile

I am an artist and painter, my work mixes Modern Realism with creativity. I strive to take the subject further than simply a representation, and I am inspired by nature and her environment. I photograph extensively and my work uses a play of design and love for color. I like Modern Realism as it depicts the beauty and style of Southern California and the Florida coast.
