Biography

Over the past several years I have become consumed with painting en plein air (works done on location). I love the constant challenges of Plein Air painting as it forces me to pare down grand vistas or detailed scenes to the bare essentials. It is a delicate balance to provide just enough so that the painting is understood by the viewer, while leaving suggested features to the imagination. I strive to be efficient with brushstrokes yet still capture my feelings about the location. I can say this is the antithesis of the work I do in digital graphic arts which is all about precision and detail.

We've all heard "Variety's the spice of life." In my opinion, variety also adds spice to a painting: light played against shadow, hard crisp edges versus soft lost ones, and warm yellows and reds alongside cool blues and greens. These contrasts can really make a painting sing. I've even written "variety" on my painting easel as a constant reminder.

Living here in Southern California, I see "potential" paintings everywhere. Easily spotted are the beautiful coastal vistas San Diego is known for. However, lately I have been drawn to the more intimate everyday subjects. These are scenes that are passed on a daily basis, but on certain occasions the light or mood is compelling. These are the moments I hope to capture on canvas.
