Drawing and painting have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was deeply inspired to create art by my grandfather and father, both of whom were accomplished painters. I grew up in Southern California and spent many summers at my grandfather’s camp in the Adirondack Mountains. As a youth, I discovered Winslow Homer’s paintings of the Adirondack’s, and his work strongly influenced my early paintings. Subsequently, American realist painters like Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth also influenced my work.
I am fascinated with the magic that happens when the painted subject appears solid and real but the painter’s hand is still clearly visible. In my work I add to the realist art tradition a modern sense of color and composition. Growing up with California’s brilliant color and light, I find it exhilarating to express the sometimes bold and often subtle effects of color and light through my art, and celebrate the mystery and beauty of their dance.
