Artist Statement

I paint oil landscapes in the classic Early California/ Craftsman, tonal-colorist tradition, both outdoors (plein-air) and in-studio. I am inspired by the Hudson River School, the California Impressionists, and the Arts and Crafts Movement, including such painters as Durand, Keith, Bierstadt, Hill, Wendt, Payne, as well as today's masters of landscape painting.
