Painting has been a part of my life since I was a kid.  I love creating pictures.  My favorite subjects are of nature.  The amount of beauty in the world inspires me.  I could easily spend a lifetime recreating what I’ve seen and experienced, whether it’s a sunset, a plant, or even a simple color combination that is pleasing to look at.  Sharing what I find beautiful with others is a satisfying feeling. 

Moving to Hawaii straight out of college is one of the best decisions I’ve made.  I learned how to surf my third day living in Lahaina and west Maui has been my home ever since.  Living here is a constant reminder of how beautiful life is. 

Most of my paintings are from the island’s landscapes.  I’ve spent the past few years painting waves from a surfer’s view of the ocean.  I’m painting a variety of new pictures these days and I hope to constantly experiment with new subjects and techniques.
I’d like to travel more and experience other places around the world. I look forward to how that will inspire my future works.
