For those of you local to Bellingham WA, my studio has a great front window and wall that I regularly rotate with new paintings. I've currently got featured a couple of my new cerulean grey seascapes and a couple of new misty landscapes. My studio is located at 203 Prospect St, just down the street from old city hall/whatcom museum and you are welcome to take a look at what I've got featured through the window. I do prefer appointments if you want to visit inside because this is primarily my working space and you can do that by phoning or texting me at 360-739-2474. I am planning on opening up on Friday nights from 5pm-9pm through the month of October. Stay tuned here for details on that.

Source and technique have melded in my paintings in such a way that poetry, nature, color, light, mood and atmosphere are at one with my method of layering oil on canvas.  Void of visible brush stokes and seemingly lit from within, I have spent my career mastering my method and using the outer world as a shoreline to our inner longings.  My paintings, often paired with poetry that I am contemporaneously reading, offer an opening to the contemplation that accompanies those moments in nature where melancholic beauty quiets us.  Mimicry of an objective nature is less the goal than evoking the mood and atmospheres of our existence.  

​

In my recent paintings the sea and sky have taken on a larger and more energetic role, giving me the space to explore a loose yet structured mark making—just as the sea and sky themselves are both chaos and order.  I find inspiration in scrims; the veil of fog, the glare of sunlight on water, the quieting as night approaches and everything is reduced to shadow and light, the revealing of a well of color at dawn and the heaviness and energy of a storm.

​

I live in Bellingham and have a storefront studio in the downtown area.  I have been exhibiting my work professionally for the past 20 years.  My paintings are held in collections throughout the US, Canada, Europe and Australia.

​

I have exhibited my work extensively in galleries and curated shows since 2008. I currently show my work at my storefront studio only--by choice-- and have no gallery affiliation at this time.
