Through careful observation and precise brushstrokes, I capture the world's spectrum of organic and structural forms and bring them to the forefront of our attention through photorealistic oil paintings. At heart, I am a portrait painter, and love to paint portraits reflecting the natural beauty we enjoy in the San Juan Islands. My goal through my work is to inspire people to see beauty in the details of the world;  savor the color, texture, shapes, and patterns of life bursting forth around us.
