While I enjoy painting all kinds of scenery, LA is my lady.
We first met on a family vacation when I was 14. Growing up in New Jersey, I can’t say I had been particularly inspired by the overcast skies and flat suburbs of the east coast. The year-round sunshine, diverse scenery and laid-back lifestyle of Southern California seemed like paradise. I was smitten.
A friend of mine said that my paintings capture “the idea of California”. I like that. As anyone who has lived in LA knows, it isn’t quite what you see in the movies. She’s anything but an easy lover, but if you play your cards right, she might just flash you a smile.
Received LPAPA Signature Artist designation in 2025
