About The Artist

My photo
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
Hello! I am a fine arts painter, with a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My primary painting medium is oil and alkyd, and mostly I work in a representational style. My greatest challenge as a painter is to capture the effect of light; and my greatest joy as a painter is to accomplish that. Many thanks to those readers who have been following this blog since Day 1 (May 19, 2008). To those who are visiting for the first time today...Welcome, and thanks for dropping by!

Now Showing...


Left: "Elena Gallegos, Autumn", oil on panel, 5"x7"
Center: "Bear Canyon", mixed media, 10x8"
Right: "The Quiet Place" oil on panel, 6x8"
I did the paintings pictured above en plein air a few years ago and was very pleased to have all three  accepted for exhibit at the Tortuga Gallery, 901 Edith Blvd SE in Albuquerque, in the "Sandia Mountain Art Show." The Sandias on the east side of Albuquerque are a favorite subject for many artists in this area--for writers and poets, too! So this was a popular exhibit for artists and viewers alike. The opening reception was Friday, but the show continues through February 24.
