2022 Laguna Beach Plein Air Invitational Artist

“Plein air is like meditation. You have to slow way down, pay attention. When you feel a place with all your senses, take your shoes off and touch the grass, smell the wind, you get a true sense for it. It’s then you realize how utterly amazing just being in the world is. And that’s the feeling I try to capture when I paint.”

“My dream days start with a surf in the morning and then spending the day with my feet in the sand painting seascapes and beach scenes.”

“I try to find subject matter that fascinates me. Nature provides the perfect balance of shape, value, and color – the three elements that I find most important in painting. It can be so satisfying and I feel blessed for that.”

” I love to paint from the life that surrounds me. I paint in an impressionistic style, marked by energetic brushwork, and use thick and thin layers of paint, patterns of light and dark, and a rich palette of colors to capture the moment.”
