As a representational artist, I‘m a marine and coastal painter intrigued by motion & light and it’s interplay with water. I enjoy painting images of people, coastal lifestyles and events in motion, freezing moments in time that leave an impression with the viewer and the desire to want be part of the scene.

The challenge of capturing the energy of a composition is what fuels my passion to create. Each painting is uniquely created to tell a story and to present the viewer with an opportunity to get lost within the work. I am always looking at life as a continual painting, looking at ways to capture my experiences and sights in a uncommon painterly style that capture the viewers attention with color and texture.

After developing an illustrative career painting in gouache, I am currently building a body of work in oils, with the motivation to create highly detailed, unique, collectible paintings through my interpretation of composition, colors and evolving techniques. I am inspired and motivated by every other artist I meet and see, and as a continuing art student, I am always trying to improve by learning something new from the masters of the past and of the present.

I have been fortunate to have spent my entire life (to this point) painting, in one form or another. My lifetime goal is to continue painting until my last days, constantly exploring the theme that fuels my passion, growing as an artist and further developing my paintings techniques through observation and drive to improve.

The new Art Festival season has started in Florida. We're participating in an average of two festivals a month during the first 3 months of 2012. Please see our "What's Happening" tab for a list of shows we'll be at. Hope to see you at one of these shows soon.

We are now represented in Charleston, SC, by Spencer Art Gallery at 55 Broad Street. Next time you're visiting Charleston, please stop by their gallery, take a casual look around and "Hello" to Jerry and Catherine.
