About the Artist

I am an oil painter of colorful, vibrant palette knife paintings. In my work I seek to create a sense of place, capturing the light, energy, and soul of my subject. With my knife, I describe what I see with layers of paint – sometimes loading it on in bold strokes, sometimes sgraffitoing by drawing or scratching into the wet paint, and often almost sculpting the paint to tell my story. My goal is to create a joyful and sophisticated work of art that speaks of the beauty found all around us, painted with love and thoughtful abandon. I am especially inspired by the endlessly breathtaking landscape where I live, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
