I paint the raw, unfiltered beauty of the Port of Long Beach—the firelit refineries, the endless concrete, and the massive machinery that pulse with mystery and industrial power-dirty, unforgiving and alive. My work also embraces the untamed beauty of California and the Southwest...from sunny beach life to the sun-scorched deserts, jagged mountains, and sweeping vistas that speak of timeless solitude and a harsh, vast expanse. I specialize in portraits that don’t just capture the surface, they are an undeniable testament to the human spirit.
