Hi World!
My studio is located in Wheeling, IL, approximately 23 mi northwest of downtown Chicago. I hold a BFA in Visual Communications from the Illinois Institute of Art, Schaumburg. Constantly conflicted about being a graphic designer or an artist, I eventually learned that both disciplines fuse together and compliment one another. My graphic design career now takes a back seat to full time painting but those skills are what make my color choices and compositions strong.
My oil paintings
fuse traditional art principles with exploratory techniques and materials. Working from direct observation and through abstraction I examine the elusive quality of light and the complexity of nature. Soulful marks and energetic colors create an emotional connection to light and form that directs my imagination
into existence.

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
My passion for art comes from being constantly curious. I am inspired by my adventures, nature, history, space, being around other creative people, powerful
music, and a symbolic allegory.
Creating complex transparent layers with cold wax and other mediums I can achieve a depth in my work allowing elements to push and pull the viewer through a visual story. Many unconventional tools are used in my process. To see a video of my Limited Edition Print,
I have been an art instructor for over 30 years and continue to share my passion for art with students of all ages. My work has been exhibited in group and solo shows receiving numerous prestigious awards. Many paintings are currently represented in galleries across the country and internationally.

I love plein air painting and try to enter a few local competition but find myself doing it more and more just for my own purposes. Often I will leave the oils at the studio and head out with a sketchbook and casein, goauche or watercolors to capture a scene quickly. When I get back to the studio I will use those life studies as references for larger abstract paintings.
I love plants so you can find me painting at the Chicago Botanic Garden which is just a few minutes away from my studio.
