“My paintings are a culmination of several diverse painting techniques that I use together to transform commonplace items into scenes of significant beauty.  After several years of developing my painting style, I have found that by uniting elements of  realism, elements of abstraction painting and the chiaroscuro style, which is the contrast between light and dark, I can create paintings that capture the essence of the subject.

Since 2004 I have studied with David Leffel and Rose Frantzen along with several other artists at the Palette & Chisel Academy of Fine Art and the DuPage Art League.”
