About the Artist
My artwork embraces the impressionism style, featuring loose brush strokes and a focus on tone and color. As far back as I can remember, I’ve always had a passion for creating artwork. I’ve explored many different styles throughout my artistic journey, having determined that impressionism is my clear favorite. I appreciate that this style produces imagery that clearly represents the subject, while simultaneously taking on a form that isn’t reproducible by a camera, showing clearly that the artwork is handmade in a way that is unique to the artist. Works by Monet, Sisley, Caillebotte, Pissaro, and others serve as prime examples from which I draw my inspiration for style and technique.
My artwork typically centers around maritime, landscape, and automotive subjects. I owe this eclectic mix of subjects to my diversity of experiences through life. I was raised in a small town on the coast of Maine and spent significant time around the ocean, developing a love for imagery of sailboats, lobster boats, docks, and lighthouses. Additionally, my travels around the United States and countries such as Spain and France have influenced my landscape artwork. Finally, rather than taking a more traditional artist path by attending art school, I instead attended Virginia Tech, where I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in mechanical engineering. Through this experience, I gained an appreciation for automotive subjects, leading to a desire to paint sports cars and motorsports subjects.
I like to think that my portfolio includes artwork that most people can appreciate. Ultimately, that is my simple goal: to create beautiful imagery that anyone can love. You don’t have to be an art scholar or historian to enjoy my artwork. My artwork doesn’t require interpretation or deep contemplation. It’s meant to provide pleasing imagery that is accessible to everyone. However, writing along cannot adequately describe my artwork, so I encourage you to browse my portfolio to see for yourself.
