Experience

I am a multi-disciplinary artist with expertise in a wide variety of mediums. Over the years, my art experience has included mastery of a variety of mediums including oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, and line art. I occasionally work in collage. Currently, I am working on a 50-piece pastel project titled A Love Letter to America. The project consists of one plein air pastel painting done in each of the 50 states using a proprietary technique that I call Ambient Observation.
