As a freelance artist residing in Sacramento, United States, since 1990, I've cultivated a diverse and expansive range of artistic interests. From capturing the essence of landscapes to exploring the intricacies of wildlife, nudes, portraits, and still life, my artistic endeavors span a wide spectrum. Despite the versatility in my painting styles, I find particular joy and resonance in the world of impressionist art.

In my artistic practice, I employ various mediums and materials, often venturing into the realm of non-traditional forms. However, my preferred medium is oil painting, executed on either canvas or wood panels. Each piece is meticulously completed with a protective varnish, enhancing both the durability and aesthetic allure of the artwork. Every painting bears my signature as a mark of authenticity validating its unique origin and artistic provenance.

I employ diverse techniques in my artistic process to bring my paintings to life. Black and white film photography, in particular, has become a cherished hobby of mine, weaving a timeless quality into my visual narrative. The delicate artistry of black and white film captures moments with a unique depth and emotion, and I frequently integrate these photographs into my painting, skillfully merging the monochromatic tones to compose a nuanced color palette. This intersection of mediums allows me to explore the intricate relationship between light and shadow, enhancing the overall visual impact of my artwork.

However, amidst the technological allure, my true passion lies in the authenticity of working from life. Engaging with the tangible world, I immerse myself in the vibrant energy of my surroundings, translating the essence of moments onto canvas. This hands-on approach not only enriches my connection to the subject matter but also enables me to infuse my paintings with a raw, visceral quality that emanates from the real-life experiences captured in each stroke.

In essence, my artistic process is a dynamic fusion of modern technology, timeless photographic techniques, and the immersive allure of painting from life. This amalgamation allows me to create a rich tapestry of visual storytelling, where each brushstroke becomes a deliberate dance between innovation and tradition.
