About the Artist:
I am a Chicago native who was raised in the city and moved to the southern suburb of Palos Park at the age of 16. Graduating from Purdue University with a Bachelors Degree in Mass Communications, I enjoyed art history classes which were my favorite college study.
Following graduation, I studied with the well-renowned oil painter, John Stribrny. He focused on still life and landscape oil paintings. I have professional experience in photography and sales with two major retail businesses. Advertising sales and industrial chemical marketing also played a major role in my working portfolio.
I have been painting for 21 years and find natural landscapes inspiring. My favorite artists include Monet and Renoir. Currently, I enjoy painting landscapes with warm rich colors and subtle soft characteristics. My latest interest focuses on photography to oil on canvas renditions.
If you would like an original oil painting created from your favorite photo please contact me at your convenience. Fees vary according to canvas size and photographic detail. Canvas prints of the oil paintings featured above can be purchased as well. |
