My paintings reflect physical and emotional landscapes.
Although I experiment with many styles — from detailed portraits to large format abstracts — I return often to painting the place I’ve called home for nearly twenty-five years: the Olympic Peninsula. I don’t think I could ever exhaust the many quirky angles, sweeping vistas, intimate corners, and ever-changing light this region provides.
I am currently focused on both large format (3 ft x 4 ft, 5 ft x 5 ft) landscapes and postcard-sized floral and village studies.
I paint in acrylics. My style is a marriage of realism and impressionism. I’m self-taught and was heavily influenced by legendary Port Townsend painter Jim Alden, as well as current Hudson Valley artist Stephen E Lewis, with whom I’ve studied. Back in the day, I wrote lyrics and raged on stage while Steve played guitar in our DC-based band, Bauls of Bengal.

A few notes about the paintings on this website:
These works represent a sample of my range and current inventory. I would be happy to show you available inventory in my home studio.
“SMALL WORKS”: these paintings vary in size but none is larger than 12 inches in height or width.
High-quality posters/prints can be created from available work. I use the big picture framing and photography in Port Townsend, WA, which creates prints on archival quality paper, suitable for framing. Contact me if you are interested.
