Every spring I get an overwhelming urge to see and swim in the ocean.  So I've planned a journey to Miami and Key West for this summer and until I get there, I'll paint my turquoise dreams.  Here's my latest piece.

Apple icloud: Miike Snow song featured

I saw this commercial the other day and thought the tune was catchy and I really felt like I'd heard it before. I think it is from this song (or at least it shares some similarities):

youtube video for the song by some random person.


(I have no affiliation with Apple or Miike Snow, and frankly I really don't care for Apple, but I do like the music. This is also a great song called Animal:Animal (Album Version)

Abstract Art

Many people love abstract art; some people don't understand it.  I have started creating some abstract pieces lately showcasing color harmonies that inspire me.  Not necessarily traditional combinations, but unique combinations that somehow seem to work to my eye.

Gray is an often under estimated color.  Its versatility is beautiful!

Golden Grays

Red is often thought to clash with fuchsias and purples, but I quite like the combination here.

Red Blues

San Francisco

It's official: I am in love with San Francisco.  If I could pack my bags and move, I would go in a skinny minute.  So much to do, wonderful weather, and its hilly city is superb to walk around.  I think you could spend a lifetime there and still not see and do all this city has to offer.  Not to mention the wonderful places to visit just outside the city like Muir Woods and wine country!

Engagement Session

An engagement session for an absolutely adorable couple in North Carolina.  Shot at Lake Benson Park in Garner, NC.

White Wedding

I photographed a beautiful couple's winter wedding in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.  The snow arrived with perfect timing the evening before the wedding ceremony.  Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. White on their white wedding day!
