Current Works
As a watercolor painter, there is always a challenge to design and execute the beauty of life into a work of art. I am always looking for a design element in nature and man-made structures. I refer to my current work as realistic abstracts. I use aspects of asymmetrical composition with a recognizable subject matter. There is always a sense of romance in my work using strong colors to capture the emotional qualities of nature.
Works
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.
