This site is a record of my activity as an artist over the last decade in Southern California.  In general terms, my work falls into the category of 21st Century American Realism - those descriptors are accurate in the context of my portfolios of Portraits, Landscapes, Skyscapes and Still Lifes.  However, as I see it as my job to record the world around me in an honest way, the surreality of our present reality is not lost on me and finds representation in my Narrative portfolio.

Many of my paintings are represented online by UGallery.  I have enjoyed an excellent working relationship with them since 2016 that has enabled me to sell and ship paintings all over the United States as well as to Europe and Asia.
