Over the years, since the '70s, I have adopted some of the best dogs and birds from my local animal shelter - and a wild cat who became tamed and lived on my porch for 12 years.

I've been a San Francisco Bay Area portrait artist for over twenty years combining a life-long love of pets and kids with a love of oil painting. I have recently moved to Europe where I continue painting portraits for the U.S. and European clients.

My style captures your favorite photo(s) in an impressionistic interpretation that goes beyond photo-realism in capturing the spirit and essence of the subject, animal and human.
