AdventuresNW
Over the years, I have created thousands of paintings of historical and contemporary maritime, landscape and wildlife themes, representing the natural beauty of the Pacific Coast, inland waterways, islands, beaches, coastline, wetlands, rivers, lakes, mountains, wilderness, and wildlife.
I have also created artwork for industrial and military clients, illustrating tugboats, oil tankers and refineries, commercial vessels of all types, aircraft carriers, submarines, and fishing vessels. Researching paintings for such diverse topics, I have become increasingly aware of the ascendency of the industrial and the military and the increasing population’s effects on our environment. Taking the time to focus, research and study our surroundings as an artist creates a desire to bring attention to the precarious balance of the natural world and to promote an understanding of our collective relationship to the environment.
