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.

"Kyusu Teapot and Teacup" An Original Still Life Painting
Like most of my paintings, “Kyusu Teapot and Teacup” grew out of a moment of deep, quiet connection.
Like most of my paintings, “Kyusu Teapot and Teacup” grew out of a moment of deep, quiet connection.
Something about what lay before me captured my attention so completely that time came to a standstill, the outside world fell away, and I was left fully absorbed in the beauty I saw.

That moment – which is almost like a daydream – becomes the inspiration; the source from which the painting flows.

It is also the experience I hope to give the viewer – time stopping, the world and its cares falling aside, and a moment of true connection with something beautiful.
