I work mostly in oil, often with reference to landscape. I enjoy building the surface of a painting over time, letting the subject evolve and change until I find a clarity, balance or an answer to a question. When my son was little we would go for walks and mark off a square foot in the ground and discover the world that lived in that square. Painting is a similar process for me - a discovery process that plays with the dance between real, remembered and imagined. 

I love to teach and have done so for 20+ years. I run an art camp and teach classes/workshops to kids, teens and adults. I also take small groups of middle/high schoolers on art trips to Wash, DC and Santa Fe. My teaching studio is called Open Window Studio (www.openwindowstudio.org).
