"For me, art is a creative process resulting in the tangible expression of awe-inspiring wonder.  It is that wonder that fuels my desire to recreate that singular moment of wondrous inspiration. "

As a professional artist others’ imaginations and excite within them the wonder, the joy, and the drama of life. Natural and realistic subjects, dynamic and dramatic or subtle movements and atmospheric changes all rich with color, atmosphere, textures, and intensity inspire me to recreate with paint, canvas, brush, and composition.

As with classical traditionalist painters like Rembrandt and contemporary wildlife artists creativity begins with seeing my subjects realistically and relating to them emotionally through that visual experience. Through the use of stop-action field photography I record the details of many of these images and their movements in their natural state. On canvas I often combine these images with ideas inspired from other photographic excursions, from visits to art galleries, from research in art books and magazines, and from within my soul.
