Painting has been an integral part of my life as I started painting at the age of 13 leading me to the Maryland Institute of College of Art in Baltimore Maryland, receiving a B.F.A., and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, receiving a M.F.A.

I am mainly a landscape painter opting to paint outside on location, weather permitting. But I often paint in my studio more and more, as the winter weather in northern Minnesota, can be challenging.

I chase the light like many before me, a tradition and obsession. I am constantly looking for that visual spark whether I am actively painting or just going about my general activities. In this way I am always painting.
