Hometown: Woodbine, MD

As an artist, my passion lies with interpreting subject matter with a combination of artistry and accuracy. My intention is to capture the light and atmosphere of the moment and to have the viewer take notice of the ordinary. Strong light and luminous color are important in my compositions. These traits, along with the welcoming nature of the subject matter, are frequently commented on by people appreciative of my work. In addition to commissioned pieces, I paint what is familiar to me – my gardens, wildlife and domestic animals, places I frequent, people I know, and the vanishing rural landscape where I live.
