I am an LA native. I have had an active art practice spanning 3 decades.. My work has been seen as expressionist, nature based, narrative,historical, political, surreal, decorative and more. The title doesn't matter. It is about being authentic. Take your time. This is a "Looking for Waldo" experience. I am a narrative painter of people, life, and now birds.
My nature bird series began in 2019 and I continue to expand in my exploration of the nature kingdom. I always added animals into my figurative works of people so this is a natural progression..

In 2020 I began a bird series. The natural world captured my attention, and allowed me to escape to a safer place. Many friends, and nature photographers have been generous in allowing me to use their photos as references. I have a new awareness of the loss of environment for wildlife. Manifest destiny has led to environmental catastrophe. It is my wish to understand how to inspire others to feel connected to what is real.
