Description
My paintings are infused with the energy of the oceans, rivers, estuaries, lagoons, mangrove swamps, wildlife, aquatic life, birds and beaches of Florida. I want to instill in the viewer, an understanding and appreciation of the natural world; to enrich and inspire people in their lives to engage with the surrounding natural resources. After 30 years working in and around art, making a living as an artist and University art teacher, art consultant, curator and many other niches, I finally opened my art studio to the dedication of purely fine art. I am a trained artist, receiving a BFA and an MFA in painting, drawing and printmaking. I am inspired by people with that same passion. I hope that the viewers and collectors of my work can be touched in the same way.
