Art comes in many forms and does many things.

Do you have a song that triggers memories of a special time in your life? The summer before your senior year? Maybe the first date with the love of your life.

For me, Rosanna by Toto instantly transports me back to the carefree summer days of ‘82 when I was 10, in the backseat of our monstrosity of a frost-green Ford LTD station wagon, banging our way across the American West.

How about your favorite author?

Pretty much anything by John Steinbeck carries me home to the rolling hills, oaks, and sycamore trees of Northern California.

I believe a painting should do the same.

My goal is to create one scene that speaks to one person. If I can create a painting that evokes a feeling, triggers the senses, or pulls you back to a nostalgic time you long for, or even a time and place you’ve never experienced, but dream you could, I’ve succeeded in creating a beautiful painting — not for me, but for you.

So, please, stick around and browse my current collection.

My inspiration comes from many places, and that includes people like you. So come along!
