While I’m basically self-taught I have had many teachers. These are the paintings found in countless art museums, from the classical beauty of Leighton to the fierce freedom of van Gogh. I’ve been inspired by Rembrandt’s glowing light, Monet’s color, and Wyeth’s compositions, and look forward to many more lessons.
And Lastly
I live in the foothills of the sierras in northern California with my wife and our dog and three cats. My wife and I share many interests – travel, fossil hunting, beachcombing, metal detecting, and searching for antiques. We both love books and reading (especially history). I also love many types of music. I play classical violin and made a CD of Scottish fiddle music.
My paintings can be seen at Art Works Gallery at 113 Mill St. in Grass Valley.
