"Light is the quintessential component of my oil and pastel landcapes."

• • •

My pastel and oil paintings are translations of the dynamic, lyrical, real and abstract qualities which I observe in the unending variety of shapes, colors and textures found in the landscape. They are recreations of a specific moment in time in which light, atmosphere, earth and sky come together in celebration of the simple and profound beauty of nature. I endeavor to instill a sense of Immediacy and totally engage the viewer

The unique character of California and specifically Napa Valley landscapes have been subjects of many of my paintings since moving to Napa in 1977. Over the years my work has been represented by galleries from  San Francisco and Los Angeles to Chicago, New York and Boston and is displayed in public and private collections worldwide.
