With a fascination for weather and the ability to paint, it seemed natural to express my love of storms through art. Having had no formal training, I have found through tireless perseverance that I am able to express my awe of the most dramatic aspect of our world—weather, using oil on canvas. It is my sincere wish that people enjoy my paintings on a level comparable to that of my inspiration.
