I moved to the Midwest from California several years ago.  The beauty of the Iowa landscape has an immediate impact on a person.  Everything is full of life.  The land, rivers and sky.  The gently rolling hills add rhythm and a sense of grace to the land.  Several years ago I decided to try and capture this beauty in my paintings.  It has been a rewarding journey.  Just the time spent outdoors observing and painting "En Plein Air" have made it worthwhile.  And the challenge has helped me to grow as a painter.

I hope you enjoy the work.
