My art is a reflection of my internal struggle to capture the rich colors of life's every vibrant moment. Every brushstroke serves as a connection between the serene life around us and my memoir of it. I spent my life painting seascapes, landscapes, birds and flowers. At a critical time of my life I suffered from a stroke and I thought my artistic career was over. Great determination and my passion for art helped me recover almost entirely. Now, as a retired civil engineer, I live only to paint.
