I am a contemporary/modern landscape and abstract painter. Beautiful, pure color, a diffused atmosphere and the long horizon are truly my passions while creating my works. Working exclusively in oils, I have a soft blending touch with the brush and love the feel of the paint to create my serene, peaceful works. I have lived many places around the US and travel the country frequently. Originally from Northern Minnesota; I grew up with the large, expansive changing view of Lake Superior and a mysterious notion of the world around us. Wherever I am, I always find the beauty, design and colors of the place to use in my work.
