I found painting at a later time in life than most. I have always been creative. Sketching was a favorite of mine. I started taking classes in oil painting in 2023. My instructor was amazing. I quickly moved on to find my passion for photo-realism. Portraits are a favorite of mine. I absolutely love recreating a photo in oil . I look for photos that speak to me. My greatest joy is in seeing the faces of people for whom I have created paintings. Their excitement is amazing to me I hope that you enjoy my paintings as much as I have enjoyed creating them....
