Greetings! Thanks for visiting my website. I have been painting for over thirty years and I still really enjoy the process of making my ideas into unique pieces. I’m grateful to have been able to create this portal for my art to be observed by eyes worldwide, and beyond?

My origin story begins on the eastern shore of Maryland, in a rural neighborhood during the 1970’s. Most days (and some nights) were spent exploring hundreds of acres of forest. A place where a kid can make sense of the world in solitude and also contemplate the mysterious & inexplicable.

In the early 1990’s I went art school at the Pennsylvania School of Art & Design and got my degree in Fine Art. After graduating I moved to Wilmington, NC and got my first artist studio. During these years I focused on developing my painting techniques, creating a recognizable style that didn’t require a signature to identify. *fun fact - all my paintings are signed on the back.

Around the turn of the 21st century I moved to Baltimore, MD and started making a living as a decorative artist. This type of artistry has given me the opportunity to work on some incredible art restoration projects nationwide. It also allows me to hone my paintings skills for when I come home to my easel.
