I am an oil painter. I started painting with oils at age 15. I began painting with acrylics at age three. I began drawing when I stopped eating the charcoal, I was told.My paintings are an evolution of numerous creative ideas from those beginnings of forming a relationship with how to become a prolific artist.I challenged myself to master many forms of expressions. Currently I am working on two different painting series. One that is figurative, with a spiritual quality. And another of spacious oceanscapes. I also paint portraits and with all my art I work from my own photographs.
