About the Artist
I paint in the open air using oils on either gessoed paper or canvas. After selecting a scene to paint, I work within a particular time, returning day after day until the painting is finished. As you can see by looking at my paintings, I like natural light reflecting the time of day. I hope my paintings are a source of enjoyment, peace and reflection.
After deciding to become a painter I enrolled at East Carolina University and earned both a BFA and, an MA in Painting. Between degrees I lived in New York City studying the art of the Impressionist in the various museums. A few years ago I began painting wildlife scenes in my studio.
I am now producing a line of Limited Edition Giclee Prints and Canvasses. After a thorough investigation of Giclee Printing I became convinced of its quality. The color can be closely matched to the original and the detail is amazing. A Giclee Print is simply the closest duplication of an original artwork that is humanly, mechanically, or technically possible. The printers are specifically designed for the rigorous and precise criteria of fine art quality limited edition prints and uses inks that have a 100 year light-fastness and UV-resistance under museum archival conditions. The paper I use is a high quality watercolor paper. I print, hand cut, sign, number, and package each print in my studio. A "Record of Authenticity" is also completed and shipped with each print.
