I am a San Diego-based artist who employs vibrant oil paint to capture the world around me. My intention is to create an experience where viewers can immerse themselves in the realm of my artwork. Inspired by everyday surroundings, I infuse daydreams into my subjects and utilize bold angular brushstrokes to enhance reality. Through strong lines, rich colors, and dynamic movement, I deliberately distort scenes to evoke a powerful sense of place. I work primarily with oil paint and often include India Ink and occasionally  acrylic in my preliminary markings and underpaintings to create depth. My paintings are created on high-quality engineered wood panels, which provide a strong, smooth surface and enhance my sharp line work and expressive paint strokes. My style is most recognizable for my use of clean bright colors and angular markings, whether or not I am painting local beach life, landscapes, or still life. I warmly invite you to join me on a captivating journey through my vivid paintings, where you can explore, imagine, and actively engage in the narrative.
