A natural born creative 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. My aunt, an artist and potter, had always encouraged my artistic expressions. 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. Spending 17years exploring the lower Rocky Mountain region, I was influenced by all the bright colors found in nature and art in the SouthWest. Currently living in Whitefish, Montana and now focusing on painting the northern forests and lakes surrounding me. While 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.
