About the Artist

I consider myself very fortunate to have frequent opportunities to travel throughout the world . Influenced, I think by my many travels unique multi-cultural-ism, I enjoy sights, people, and scenery. I have been given a chance to not only enjoy these wonderful countries, but also to take many photos and sketches to use as reference material for my art.

The joy in painting for me lies in the process of creating. As soon as I dip my brush in water, load it with pigment and introduce it to my canvas, I’m in a different world. I love colors and am intrigued by the surprises that emerge as the painting unfolds. When successful, the final work will capture my viewers' attention and the beauty of each of the landscape and its many moods.

I was born and part of my childhood lived in East Africa and in Italy where I traveled extensively within both countries. I lived in many places in the world but make my home  in the beautiful San Diego, California with my family.

Outside of the US, I have traveled to Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, the Seychelles, Mozambique, Italy, England, Greece, Spain, France, Costa Rica, Mexico and Tunisia. 

It all began back in 2006, after watching a friend creating beautiful seascapes and landscape; I decided to teach myself to paint by watching video about art, reading books and visiting galleries. I took up painting seriously in 2009 encouraged by my family and friends.

I had some solo shows and participated in group exhibitions as well.

Thanks to all the people that have believed in my work and have acquired one or more of my paintings. It has been a great honor and I hope to do it for many more years.
