Novato, CA
Figures are my inspiration. Painting life is an energizing & spontaneous event for me.
Color is my passion. I love the never-ending search for exciting and compelling colors.
Emotion is my glue. I'm drawn to capturing the emotional spontaneity before me, and the beauty of the human form.
