| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
To become a master realist oil painter, and to show in a major gallery in New York |
| |
| Why Did You Become An Artist |
No Choice. It is the only thing I am good at, and it gives my life meaning in a way that nothing else does.
I have had persistant and vivid dreams and "visions" since I was a child. Painting - creating a real painting, that involves both skill and inspiration - is the only thing that brings them into focus for me. |

| Your Personal Biography |
I am a full time, contemporary realist oil painter, attempting to capture both the realism of the outer world, and surrealism of the inner world, in the same paintings.
I try to capture unique and exciting moments I witness around me, and insert a sense of irony into my work whenever possible. I am mostly self taught, and continue to study and experiment.
A large collection of my work can be seen on my web site

My Studio is Located in Santa Cruz County in Northern California
