About the Artist:

Born and raised in Southern California I started writing and drawing at a very young age. I started painting at the age of 12 and stopped at the age of 16 to pursue my career.

After Years of being in the corporate world I am now retired and am able to freely choose what I want to do. Since oil painting is one of my passions, in 2006 I decided to pick up my brush and apply it to the canvas once again. 

I look at the canvas as my world and this is my creation.
Some of my art is done with acrylic & oil.  For the most part oil is my love.

My painting style is called Semi-Realism. I like to paint as real as possible in a 3-D technique.
One of the striking things about painting is that when I look at something, I truly see it and study it. As the old saying goes” stop and smell the roses”, it’s a true statement.

The trees, clouds, rocks, water, mountains, everything becomes so real. I start to become Aware of it right now, in the "Now Moment". I know that for me, I'm truly becoming "Awakened". All life as I see it is Beautiful.
