My 20 year journey as an autodidact artist has led me down several paths evolving over time, that showcase the various stages and elements in the process and resulting artworks. Igniting my imagination to convey the world around me and the landscapes of my mind in vivid colors and forms, will typically result in a rush of paint on canvas. Over time I have developed several techniques I implement in oil and acrylic paintings, culminating in unique recognizable styles of my own. My art captures the essence of my imagination, conjuring scenes that are at once recognizable and surreal, inviting viewers into a world where reality meets the dreamlike. Over the years, I have exhibited my art in several galleries, sharing glimpses into the introspective worlds I create. My process is intuitive - each painting a visual story guided mainly by an inner vision that I translate onto canvas.
