My intent is to paint scenes of determination, hope, perseverance, and wonder. The target is out of sight. But the effort continues. Keep searching, casting, dragging, combing, reeling, gaffing, digging, rowing, drifting…

By focusing on the attempt, the paintings invite reflection on the path taken to achieve our goals.

While many of my paintings center on the water, a great work of art can fall on any subject. As a commission painter, I embrace each client’s vision with a passion to create custom work of art.
