After a career in advertising and graphic design, I have pursued my earlier interest in fine art. I am intrigued by the 'passing view,' and use my own photographs as a setting and a point of view. Later, in the studio, I paint what I feel, not just what I have seen. Robust landscapes and strong figures support my central theme of the passing view.
