Like most of my paintings, “Gourd and Water” grew out of a moment of strong connection with the objects – especially the distorted reflection of the rich orange gourd.

During those moments, time slows down a little, and I become more fully aware of the intrinsic beauty of the thing that has my attention so completely.

That sense of time stopping becomes the inspiration for the painting, as well as the experience I want the viewer to have as they look at it.

About Me
I came to painting later than most artists.
My formal education was in music (violin and composition), yet after school I found my way into a practical career as a computer programmer.
Painting was always an intense curiosity for me, though.
So, for my 30th birthday, I purchased a small oil painting kit. This weekend hobby took on a life of its own, and after several years I left my comfortable life in technology to pursue this more uncertain – and much more satisfying – path.
I have painted still life exclusively for the last dozen years. I find it to be the perfect synthesis of tradition and exploration, and for me it is the ideal vehicle to search for both the inner and outer light.
I am deeply honored that over 700 collectors have chosen to bring my paintings into their homes, with many of them collecting multiple works.
