Everyone is creative

“We believe that creativity is at the heart of every human being whether or not one defines oneself as creative. Everybody just is, in one way or another, and given the opportunity, it will blossom forth.”

Posters for the Oregon Children's Theatre

I have had the joyful opportunity of doing the posters for the Oregon Children's Theatre again this year, and thought it would be fun to show what I did last year (finished paintings) and a sneak peak of what I'm concocting with the fantastic crew of OCT for this year (drawings).

Artist Statement

There is a reason we are drawn toward beauty, it is the language of God and nature. To me there is nothing more provocative than beauty, it inspires deep reflection and motivates me to create.

I mix from a primary color palette, painting wet into wet and with layers, to both reveal and hide what lies behind; in this way I entice you into the painting. I love it when people share the feeling and stories my paintings evoked.

It is my sincere wish that you will want to revisit these beautiful locations and painterly stories again and again.
