At the young age of 5, I began drawing and painting.  I credit my love for art to my dear mother who would cut open paper grocery bags where I would draw and color airplanes and ships for hours.  I would entertain myself, immersing myself in my realm of creativity.

​

Not limiting myself to one medium, my visual work includes elements of graphic art, painting, mixed media, photography, puppetry, and sculpturing.  As a conceptual artist I felt compelled to give these dreams life as I personally witnessed it.  Taking in the breath-taking vistas of the Hawaiian Islands, the sandstone colors of the Grand Canyon, glass angular towers of Manhattan, the richness of New England autumns, pastel villages of the Italian Riviera all has given me meaning in my life’s journey.

​

I find beauty in all that my mind can take in.  Once I select an art project, I’m laser focused with bold to subtle brushstrokes, depending on my artistic mood, giving my work unique sentiments.  I have always used my creativity to pursue lovely visions of striking abstract, bold hues even when the subject is just black and white, it speaks to the casual viewer in its subtle design and complexities.

​

“Blue Mood” is my watercolor and ink series inspired by the blue pottery of Delts Holland, my personal travel photos and portrait photos.  Blue being the primary color in this series, the artwork is striking in detail.

​

A touch of red in my “Red Series” collection helps to bring out the subject or focus with different shades of red.  Concentrating more on abstract graphics, more of the pieces in this series is digital or born of a digital format.  Through experimentation I have discovered that within digital applications, my creativity can take yet another flight.  I have developed my unique way of looking at the world utilizing the hues of the rainbow.  I design and flow with what my mind’s eye digests and produce music for the eye and fulfillment to the soul.

​

Flowers Series paintings are right out of my garden.  Flowers are nature’s perfect bouquet of colors and I delight in the mysteries, delicate shapes that scream to be brushed onto a canvas or captured on my digital lens.  I have created many floral paintings, for commissions, collectors and some for permanent displays at a private Accounting Firm in Texas.

​

Many hours at the Vincent Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and Pablo Picasso Museum in Barcelona are truly highlights of my creative career and forever push me to my next adventure.  This collection of artworks focuses on well-known public people, family and friends who have personally inspired me.  Each portrayal is from photogenic reference and a reflection of the person’s characteristics.  Developing every image takes an energetic path with vibrant abstract colors, overlays of patterns, design and brushstrokes.  The result in this creative series is my vision take of pop and urban culture.

​

My artist mentor, renown syndicated humorist illustrator has greatly influenced my professional career and personal life playing an extremely important role in developing my style, with guidance and pushing me to my creative limits.  He has guided, motivated, taught and inspired me to reach deep into my creative conscious and bring forth the art that dwells within.
