CV/Artist Statement

Artist Statement:

I am a representational artist.  I love everything about painting with oil.  The medium provides an endless depth of learning.  My art typically falls into the 3 categories : figure/portrait, landscape/citiscape, and still life.  I practice plein air and studio painting.  I paint from life and photos.  I try to let the subject matter guide me.
