About Me

I’m an artist, actor, and volunteer firefighter. For the past twelve years, I have been traveling in my Airstream trailer painting landscapes of this beautiful country of ours creating art that tries to capture a poetic mood. Inspired by the color and light, whether on a majestic landscape or intimate still life, using the techniques of Impressionism, Tonalism, and Realism is what I wish to share with the viewer. Exploring not only the landscape of the United States but also the wonderful art treasures we as a country possess. I have studied in many of the art museums from coast to coast and have learned many a lesson from the great art masters of the past. From Rembrandt to Monet, to Van Gogh to Jackson Pollock and beyond.

As an actor, which I have begun fairly recently, I have been on many sets. On such shows as Longmire, Better call Saul, Midnight Texas and one to which I am honored, I had the opportunity to be a stand-in actor for the Oscar-winning actor, Gary Oldman.

As a volunteer firefighter, I have a deeper sense of community by giving what I can to help those in need.
