I have always had a deep love for capturing beauty... well, my perception of beauty. And since I was little I've continually wanted to take what I see in my imagination and let it out. I do this primarily through painting with oils, mainly because of their vibrancy and texture...  I love color, and I use it - not to portray realism - but to  depict feeling, to convey mood. I’ve also been lucky to be able to funnel my passion into my career, both through working in the art department for film and television and by creating art for public and private display.
