I’m a semi-abstract contemporary painter, basically exploring one theme: the continuous exchange of energy that happens all around us.

Fixed elements contrast with fluid ones in my work, highlighting the relationships between objects that can be seen, along with the atmosphere that we can only sense. My paintings employ the landscape (water, rocks, sky), the inner landscape (non-representational), and the figure.The figures and rocks, like all objects, are both solid and ethereal, grounded and dissolving at the same time. This is what makes them come alive for me.

I’m based in Marin County, in the San Francisco Bay Area, just over the Golden Gate Bridge, and am currently represented by a number of galleries throughout the US. My work has been featured in publications, such as Luxe Magazine, House Beautiful and San Francisco Magazine, along with Sacramento’s Crocker Museum, San Jose’s Institute of Contemporary Art and MarinMOCA’s annual art auctions. I was also included in the highly competitive DeYoung Museum Open.

My studio is in the Sausalito Industrial Center Building (ICB), 480 Gate 5 Rd., Sausalito, California, where I’m actively involved in the ICB Art Association with over 90 members, co-chairing its board of directors.
