As a professional artist I maintain a private studio in San Antonio, Texas. Painting has always been my primary focus in making art. I have worked in other media and processes such as printmaking/etching, and sculpture in clay, but my love is painting. I have academic training in both abstraction and naturalism and have a deep appreciation for both. My influences are varied both in time and place. I find interesting ideas and beautifully realized work from different historical time periods and styles. My main interest now is in the works produced during the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century.
