“I am a plein air painter and I love to capture the atmosphere and lighting that I see all around me. I am always very excited when I get to an outdoor setting to paint especially when I see a scene spotlighted by the sun sitting in all its glory with all its magnificent colors. Then, I am filled with so much joy, and I can hardly wait to get my brushes and paint out and begin painting what I see before me. You can find me somewhere in the beautiful Palos Verdes Peninsula either painting by the ocean or on the hillsides. Painting is quite addictive to me and I feel very fortunate to be able to live and paint here. I hope you enjoy looking at my paintings as much as I enjoy creating them.”
