Oil Painters of America is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and preservation of representational oil painting. We have close to 4000 members. I have served in various board positions since 2013, including Vice President from 2018-2020 and in the role of President starting in 2020.

I have a degree in Advertising and Fine Arts, and for years I worked as an Art Director in ad agencies. However, I have traded in my Pantone swatches for a palette and my business trips are now with brushes in tow. I paint in oils and am motivated by color, immediacy of stroke, composition and ultimately the desire to evolve as an artist. I am inspired by the world around me, travel, and the example and camaraderie of other artist. I endeavor for my paintings to communicate confidence in execution with a fresh, intuitive, spontaneous, quality. I paint still life, landscape, the figure and portraiture.
