Short Bio
Oil & Pastel Artist, in the studio and en plein air. Home Gallery Lanza Gallery & Art Supplies, High Springs Florida
Statement
I paint in a realist style...realism that your soul can feel. I love to evoke emotion in the natural beauty of things, inclining to paint in bold colors and extend on nature's brilliance. When painting en Plein Air I am traveling on an art journey in a way that I never thought possible. I look forward to each paintout with exciting anticipation. The pull to capture, artistically, the essence of nature or a historical site, is an adrenaline rush each time I step outside to paint.
