I try to combine my love for nature with my explorations in painting and clay sculpting. Through my whimsical characters and landscapes in paint and clay I hope to make people smile. I am always trying new avenues to express myself as I unfortunately get bored with the repetition needed to constantly improve in one area. I hope you view my works and see the children in all of us and the magical memories they invoke. My landscapes and street scenes are from photos I have taken and evoke quieter times and places that are quickly fading from present life.
