I am a self-taught oil and watercolor artist with a focus on wildlife, landscapes, and all things in the world of nature. I have been painting for nearly 20 years and spent a great deal of time studying the works of all the European and American impressionists. I continue to study the work of past and contemporary artists with my eyes open to ways to improve my painting and expand my subject matter. In that time I have developed a style of painting which is a combination of impressionism and realism. I work with both brushes and palette knives.
