Portrait Gallery 2019 - 1980

---

As long as I can remember I have been drawing and painting.​​

 My mother was a painter and as a child I remember messing around playing with her oils. Even before I could walk I was discovered drawing faces with a crayon on the wall next to my bed!  I was already inspired to paint people. After graduating from The Byam Shaw School of Art in London, England, now The Central School, I worked continuously as a painter, residing in Europe, Australia and back to my native North America, painting commissioned portraits as well as still life, landscapes and seascapes for exhibition. My art has great diversity. With love and homage to the Impressionist and Post Impressionist/ Expressionist painters of the late 19th and early 20th Century, I endeavor to match their brilliance and capture moments in time: people, families, beloved pets, as well as still life and landscapes. These are paintings to treasure and heirlooms to pass on. Collectors of my work are many and all around the world. Now a naturalized American citizen, I am based in the Mojave Desert near Las Vegas Nevada. The sunshine here is marvelous for painters!
