It wasn't until after college that I discovered my 'path' and my abilities.
I began painting under the tutelage of renowned portrait artist Paul W.
McCormack, who gratefully saw something in my 'untrained' drawings and
believed in talent I didn't know I had. Currently, I am continuing to refine
my skills in the rigorous atelier program of the award winning artist
Anthony Waichulis at the Waichulis Studio.

The creation of my art is both my greatest pleasure and most intense
torture. The desire for perfection can be almost too much to suffer, but
then there is a moment in painting more rewarding than any I have ever
experienced: the moment when the very thing you are painting suddenly takes
on a life and actually seems to look back at you. And even better, it is
incredible to watch a viewer develop an intimate relationship with the
subject in my painting that has nothing to do with myself as the artist. I
live for those moments.

I’m available for commissioned work. Please contact me with any questions or comments.

Thank you for stopping by.
