"The past is a picture to be observed, not a house to be lived in." (K. A. Blackburn)

Great artist I admire include Jules Bastian-Lepage, Émile Friant, Joaquin Sorolla, and Dagnan-Bouveret. I'm also interested in contemporary painters like Brendan Kelly, Diarmuid Kelley, Andrew Wyeth, and Antonio Lopez Garcia.

The bulk of work you'll see in the gallery is a collection of studies, and finished works. Painted and drawn from life.

Previously studied at Associates in Art, Gnomon, Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art, and the Florence Academy of Art.
