I paint colorful outdoor landscapes. Whether working in the studio or en plein air my medium of choice is oil. Before painting, preparatory sketches or drawings in graphite, charcoal, ballpoint pen, or watercolor ease the way into the oil paintings which are executed using a palette knife and/or brushes. My art conveys a sense of energy through texture that stems from a wide variety of mark making.

I am an Ohio artist who travels and paints on site. A feature article about my six weeks plein air trip to India can be found in the January 2006 issue of American Artist Magazine! This coming winter I will spend four weeks painting in the North of India and in the Kingdom of Bhutan. My third solo exhibition at the Sharon Weiss Gallery in Columbus, OH opens in June 2007.
