Biography

I started painting over forty years ago as a hobby. It gradually became a compulsion to convey my interest in nature, color, design, and the environment. It has now evolved into a mission to deliver a message through paintings and original poetry.

I describe my art as stylized realistic watercolor paintings of Wisconsin inspired scenes using multiple paint layers to achieve high value contrast and deep color saturation with great attention to image details and scene composition.

I hope to achieve an overall effect of harmony and co-existence between nature and humanity with a subtle implication of the greater cosmos. I aim to induce moments of tranquility and contemplation in my work. I also hope to instill an appreciation of nature’s beauty and the need to protect the delicate balance between human needs and the fragile environment. Consequently, 75% of net profits are donated to charity for human and environmental causes.
