bio: Create something everyday.

I can wax nostalgic for hours, so without my paintings, I’d just be an annoying person who spends too much time and money on toys from eBay.

Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.
– Mary Oliver

I try to live and paint like this.
on the importance of art:

Today, play, joy and fun are often neglected for busyness, work, and worry. I’d like to counter the idea that life must be worrisome and busy to be valid. Art brings back those opportunities as to play whether you are creating it or viewing it. It's something that brings us joy. I work in the still-life tradition and paint carefully and with deliberation in the hope that others will find that sense of joy through my work.
