“This American artist enchants our eyes and senses with his textured paintings where colours explode almost magically.”

INSPIRATION FOR DEEP SEA LIFE SERIES
I recently visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium and was amazed at the various types of creatures that live at the bottom of the ocean. So, I took numerous photos of a variety of these deep ocean residents, and used these photos as “point of departures” for this series of mixed media works. The result is the Deep Sea Life series.

The Joshua Tree National Park is a true beauty of nature as well as geological wonder. It has boulders that have been shaped and moved by erosion over millions of years. The resulting colors, shapes, and variety of boulders and hills is one of the most beautiful sites of nature one can see.
