Professional artist who paints with lots of color and impressionist interpretation of subjects. I teach classes in Boise and throughout the USA: www.thecreativetraveler.org

Idaho artist working in oil. Specializing in portraits (corporate and heirloom), genre and landscape paintings.

I paint to replicate residual emotions, thoughts and expressions in an abstract, dimensional way. I am never fully aware what will come out, my paintbrush is the guide and takes on a life of its own. I use a variety of mediums and techniques to accomplish my desired effect of vibrancy, texture and depth. Each painting is done in detail and meant to be viewed close or far away.

During recent years I have been saddened by so many stories of animal neglect and cruelty. In order to focus on the positive, I started doing colorful paintings of animals to express the joy they bring me. My paintings are inspired by our own pets, those of my friends and family and several that have been rescued by shelters. I welcome commissioned pet portraits.
