As an artist born in San Diego, and for many years living in the heart of northern California's beautiful wine country (now in gorgeous Oregon), I have a lot to inspire me in my surroundings, family and friends. Wonderful waterways, lush forests, vineyards, mountains and cows. I love painting landscapes and seascapes having lived close to the Pacific Ocean my entire life. My medium of choice is graphite for photorealistic portraits, but I also work in oil, acrylic, pastel and watercolor.
