I was born to create. Art gives me freedom, purpose, and the joy my soul can’t live without.

I’m a painter with more than thirty years of experience capturing nature and animals through bold color and expressive brushwork. I began my creative career in graphic design before moving into watercolor in the early nineties, eventually finding my long-term home in acrylics and mixed media. My work blends vibrant palettes, loose strokes, and a designer’s eye to celebrate the energy and personality of the natural world.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration has always come from nature. I’m especially drawn to animals and landscapes, and I’ve been sketching and painting them since childhood. Much of my career has grown from creating vibrant, colorful pet portraits, capturing the personality and spirit of the animals people love. I’m equally passionate about landscapes, from the lush environments of Florida to the dramatic vistas of the Southwest. Nature continues to be the heart of my work and the place and where I feel most creative.
What would you do with $25,000?Like most of my paychecks, this one would go straight back into my business. Running it isn’t cheap, and I’m always planning ahead for new projects, so I put a portion into savings too. I also love supporting nonprofits that help animals and protect the environment.
