I have been painting for many years, primarily animals; pets and wildlife. Some years ago I was hit with an illness that left me unable to walk, speak or coordinate my hands. Making myself work to get back into painting has been very therapeutic in my recovery and I am now enjoying painting almost every day again...

After 50 years of painting contemporary impressionism I pioneered my own art style, I called it Spontaneous Texturism. I create original paintings in heavy, textured oils with bright colors and fluid motion. The engaging texture with high peaks has become my worldwide hallmark. I would love to create a very special piece for you.
