How long have you been doing this?
I was one of those kids that couldn’t stop drawing. I really started teaching myself how to paint in oils nights and weekends after my day job as a CPA in 97′ and have been painting ever since.
How would you describe your work?
I guess the easiest way to describe what I do, is to understand a bit about me. I love organization. Inspired by restrained color and order, I’m challenged to create pop using color combination that is refined, suggesting more.
Self-taught I learned to paint studying concepts of Rothko. Educated and working as an accountant, I found fulfillment creating art on the side. Color fields was my first step into the art world later moving to landscapes. Inspired by color, I seek to create color spaces that match a sensory effect and spectra of light within primary colors.
I grew up in the Northern California and live in the Oakland hills with my family and dog. I have a small garden and love going for long walks.
Do you accept commissions to create a new painting?
Yes! I will accept commissions when the painting is consistent with my body of work. Before I start a commission we will agree on a composition.
Before I start a commission we will agree on a composition based on photographic “sketches”.
