Thanks for visiting my site. I'm an abstract realism landscape painter. I'm happiest when I'm out in the mountains, and my goal is to achieve the sense of a place and the feeling you get when you're in nature, while still presenting my work as a painting, not a photograph.

I'm trained by my mother and grandfather, both artists, and self-trained. I prefer to work outside en plein air, but given time constraints I often paint in the evening after my day job as a primary care doctor in Portland Oregon. 

Oil and Gouache are my favorite, but I also paint in acrylic and watercolor occasionally.

Please email me if there's an original work you like and want more information about its availability.
