I am an oil painter and digital artist from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I paint in oils because I love how they blend and bleed. Over the last 25 years, I've done several hundred paintings. I began with rendering, cubism and impressionism to grow my skills, but now concentrate more on abstraction, symbolism and expressionism. However, I am always open to commissions. In the beginning, I painted a lot of city-scapes and emulated the usual suspects; cubists like Picasso and Braque as well as post impressionists like Van Gogh and Matisse. I've always been fascinated with impressionism and have developed my own 21st Century Impressionist style. I enjoy creating paintings without obvious renderings, that sit on the borderline between Egyptian wall painting and Expressionism with Impressionist De Stijl elements as well as loose graffiti overpainting and underpainting.
