Artist statement: Realism better than reality.

From concept to completion, the details are where I make my personal investment. My landscapes and seascapes reflect the best of nature and showcase my talents, gifts and gentle spirit. Working primarily in acrylics and oils, I have developed a media blending these entirely incompatible mediums onto a single canvas. This achieves the subtle movements of clouds across the sky or the luminous quality of translucent ocean or moonlit evening. I am often not satisfied until my paintings reflect a better than realism reality.

Artist biography: Raised in Waco Texas. Received a Bachelor’s degree from University of Texas and a doctorate in Psychology. Disenfranchised by the policies of university tenure, I made a choice to follow my passion and to pursue my love of art. I expected to feel anxiety, but I felt only relief.
