About the Tropical Artist and His Paintings

"I want to capture the essence and feeling of the islands within my paintings. The lush tropical foliage, the warmth of the sun and the sand, and the sparkling clear turquoise water. Sometimes I capture this by painting on-site (plein air) and other times I bring the memories and photographs home to recreate in my studio.

Although it had been a secondary career in the past, I have been a professional artist for over 30 years. Since transitioning from a long and successful human resource development and adult education career to painting as my primary occupation, I have enjoyed the total freedom to create art on a daily basis."
