About

Most days you will find me creating in my atelier; sketching and painting. Other days, I will venture outdoors basking in the Light. I find most of my inspirations beyond the walls; visiting the birds in the garden, exploring the open desert air, hiking in the deep woods or rambling along the country roads. But nothing compares to sitting silently in God's Presence. 

I primarily work in oils. I offer my impression of what I see in nature through abstract form, mark making, expressive color and the play of light. I have been influenced by many of the great saints, theologians, philosophers and painters. However, I see God's hand in everything true, good and beautiful. He gave us color and light to paint poetry. With His guidance, I try to stay present, enjoying the freshness of the paint while capturing the poetic landscape of God's Light.

I live in Scottsdale Arizona - The Valley of the Sun, where talented artists flock to this cool vibrant town. The Sonaran Dessert is unique in all the world with amazing light and landscape. I also enjoy creating from an ancient stoned cottage near Castelnaud-la-Chapelle France. The Dordogne Valley attracts artists, writers, history buffs, nature seekers, pilgrims and foodie travelers from all over the world to its fairy tale-like setting. 

I thank many people along my creative journey.

I hope the fruits of my labor will give glory to God and reflect beauty and peace into the hearts of many.
