My lifelong love of Nature is the primary impetus for my work as an artist. My paintings and prints are a visual exploration of the world around us and of our human relationships within it.

The paintings are in two categories: Trees presents a series of tree portraits and Stories displays paintings that explore our human connections with nature. The Woodcuts page shows recent examples of my work as a printer. I use the traditional medium of oil on linen canvas for my paintings and bring over twenty years of letterpress printing experience to the production of my woodcut prints. Both techniques require patience, but encourage a slower, more contemplative way of looking than is common in our contemporary world.

Last year brought a move of home and studio from Watsonville to the Live Oak neighborhood of Santa Cruz. Soon I will begin an expansion of the existing garage into a new studio space.

My new location on Chanticleer Ave is near numerous other art studios in the central area of Live Oak. For the past eight years I have participated in the "Open Studios Art Tour" sponsored by the Cultural Council of Santa Cruz County, but this past October I took a break and instead enjoyed being a visitor at the studios of over fifty of my fellow artists!

If you would like to view my paintings and prints and see the future studio site, please email or call to arrange a visit.
I look forward to seeing you.
