The wonder of flowers.
Flowers are one of nature's greatest gifts. I like painting them on a textured canvas, which imparts a luscious feeling of perfect imperfection. I achieve this with nontraditional materials such as plaster or joint compound mixed with coffee grounds and sand, creating movement and depth.

About the artist
For many years, I was a journalist — a storyteller who worked with facts and the principle of verification to bring accurate news to readers. Now, I do something similar with painting, creating stories through paint and canvas that hopefully evoke a true feeling. Whenever possible, I try to use natural elements, including natural pigments, in my work.
