Hello, and welcome to my website!  I hope you enjoy what you find here.  I currently live in Melbourne, Florida (when I'm not roaming elsewhere), close to the Indian River and just minutes from the beautiful Atlantic Ocean.  I gain much of my inspiration for my paintings from living here, and having lived and cruised in the Florida Keys, Mexico, and Central America. 

 

I've been drawing since I was a child, and started painting acrylics while in college (B. A., Indiana Univ.)  I began painting watercolors after taking a workshop while living in the Florida Keys. Thus began my love of that medium.  I enjoy painting a variety of subjects, from the natural wonders of the world around me, to fun and funky still-lifes, to portraits of people and pets, to commissioned works.  I like to paint what excites me at any given time, and that could be anything!  My mediums are watercolor on paper and canvas, acrylics on paper and canvas, and mixed media, employing realistic and abstract styles.  My paintings range from previous to current pieces, with new works on-going!
