A natural born creative and mostly self taught intuitive artist.  Growing up, I was first focused on illustration, digital design, animation, and had a job working as a Graphic Artist right in high school, also creating logo designs and selling freelance illustrations.  Given a set of oil paints and brushes as a kid, I would experiment on developing my own artistic painting style.  Funny enough, my paintings were not just sailboats at sea, but forests and mountains too.  Sights not found at my hometown beaches.  Studying at the Cahoon Museum on Cape Cod & Chatham Arts Centers, then moving on to the Art Institute of Boston, and out west to the Breckenridge Colorado Arts District.  I was able to train under many professional artists along the way and learn all their techniques and styles, but definitely always wanted to pursue my own style and vision much more than just copy another's.  

    Moving out west and spending almost 2 decades exploring the lower Rocky Mountain region, my artwork is still heavily influenced by all the bright colors found in art in the SouthWest.  With all the red rock, white snow, deep blue skies, wildflowers and hyper colorful high altitude sunsets, I couldn't help but be influenced by the SouthWestern sunlight and colors that continue to brighten my paintings.  Currently living in Whitefish, Montana for a bit and focusing on painting the northern forests and lakes surrounding me.  Occasionally adventuring into the Canadian Rockies and Pacific Northwest.  Exploring new sights, I paint inspiring scenes from my experiences and travels in nature.  Creating colorful art of the Western Landscape.
