My passion for art is equalled only by my passion for exploration and discovery. Not for me a tranquil day spent painting in my studio; rather I prefer to be a man of action, interacting fully with the natural world that I try to capture.
My extreme journeys into the unknown bring new challenges that push the boundaries of my mind, body and soul. These voyages of discovery, sometimes dangerous, are a stimulus to drive me forward creatively and explore new worlds of emotional expression. With these explorations of seldom travelled places, I have found a new source of energy that I attempt to translate into visual form.
To me, painting with oils allows me to more freely express myself in art. Because of the slow drying nature of the medium, oil painting allows me to be more adventurous and creative with the brush, the sponge, the paper towel and even my hands. There are no limits with oils, which is reflective of how I try to live my life. For more information on how to purchase, please contact me.
