I have been seriously painting since 2000. I have always loved the California Chaparral environment having grown up in Los Angeles. My earliest experiences were playing in the hills around our house. I loved the scent of the oily vegetation on hot days. I loved the Sycamore and Oak trees. I still love being out in the hills creating a painting. There is something about the spontaneity of working in the Plein Air that is different from a studio painting- the colors and the light always changing. This can be a challenge but it also inspires me to capture the essence as quickly as possible. I hope you enjoy my work.
