"Truck paintings, pastry paintings, colorful paintings"...I'm an artist, mainly an oil painter, born in Berkeley, CA and working in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. The paths I have taken in my artwork are linked by a love of color and contrast (And things in rows such as pastries in a case or boots on a shelf).

. I AM AVAILABLE FOR NO-RISK COMMISSIONS AND CUSTOM MURALS. I love the aching beauty, nostalgia and poignancy found in abandoned old trucks and machinery, often discovered on a road trip. I have an ongoing pastry series painted in oils right onto discarded cookie sheets and trays. These "canvases" have a kitchen's history baked in. Painting on metal has its own quirks! My art is in collections in Atlanta, Dallas, New York, London, the Czech republic and more. Custom murals in Denver and Florida. My work has been in many juried shows and has won numerous awards.
