I am from Raleigh, NC. I am a husband and a father. My 3 year old son is a frequent subject of my sketches and paintings! I have been painting in Watercolor and Oil for awhile. My passion is painting from life, so, I love working en plein air! To me, Plein Air painting provides the ultimate experience. When I look at my Plein Air painting, I remember the mood and the atmosphere, my battle with the elements and dialogues with the folks who stop by. I like to work quickly. I prefer rough paper for my watercolor paintings and smooth canvas for my oil paintings. I am also passionate about painting at weddings and events. I am a wedding painter and live event artist. I also accept studio commissions for wedding paintings, event pantings and portraits.
