I am a full-time professional artist dedicated to the creation of
unique, original abstract paintings. Many years of experimentation
and exploration of various materials and techniques have resulted in
a body of work of which I am especially proud.
My work may be found in corporate and private collections
throughout the country as well as in places as far away as Australia,
Portugal, Scotland and South Africa.
