I develop the drawings with my fingers and nubs of pastel. Whether the subject is waveform, tree silhouettes or soft modeling on the flesh, I become immersed in the magic of light and interplay of shadows to produce poetic objects on paper.

My process of drawing with pastels is simple and straightforward; because of the nature of pastel I need to be sure of my marks since there is minimal room for reworking.

I obsess with the details, capturing a moment in time, and creating realistic works that display the magic of light and shadow on the page.

Although I am primarily known as portrait painter, I also love classicizing close up views of ocean waves and treescapes.

One example of this is my non-figurative work, “Rough Seas Seascape” which is a close-up composition of an ocean scene, refined with striking detail at the moment a wave breaks. I was looking to preserve an exact moment, unlike other ocean scenes capturing the whole scene of sand, sky and ocean.

I wanted my artwork to immerse the viewer in a moment that will never quickly come again.

I love large scale drawings and paintings, because I want the viewer to feel that sense of immersion with the subjects as they stand in front of my art.
