While I spent many wonderful years doing commissioned portraits, I am currently developing a series of figurative paintings that I hope to share soon.

Although I am predominately self-taught, I was fortunate enough to study painting from William (Bill) Cummings ~ the youngest of the renowned "Northwest School" of artists.

Along with Bill, I am influenced by artist like Waterhouse, Gauguin, Monet, Mucha, Klimt, John Singer Sargent, Cecily Brown, Yoshitaka Amano, Audrey Kawasaki, Darren Waterston, Fay Jones... and I keep adding to the list.
