I’m a New Orleans native, currently living in Hawaii. I have been painting in oils and acrylics for over sixteen years. I am known for my magical, expressive paintings inspired by Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and traditional ornamental arts. I often incorporate genuine gold leaf illumination in my paintings. My deepest artistic influences are Gustav Klimt, Alphonse Mucha, and Vincent Van Gogh. I draw much of my personal inspiration from Mythology, Folklore, and Fairy Tales, while my subjects derive from my direct experience of Nature and Dreams.
