Beach Umbrellas. 30"x30" ,2026. Oil on Canvas. After immersing myself in workshops and years of personal study, I paused to look inward and ask what truly holds my attention over time. I’ve explored realism, abstraction, impressionism, and simplified forms, but the thread that keeps calling me back is a love of design, color, expressive brushstrokes, and playful shapes. So I’m letting go of realism for now and embracing the qualities that spark joy in the act of painting. This is the first of a series of 5.

The Mark Thomas Outrigger (now named the Fish Hopper) on Cannery Row, Monterey CA 11x14 2024. Digital Print. This was the access point to get into an abandoned cannery. My brother and I would climb under the Outrigger restaurant at low tide and then climb up into the abandoned cannery – sometimes with our cousins or friends. It was spooky and exciting – the broken windows, missing floorboards, the dilapidated conveyer belts and other machinery. Our mother told us that as a young girl, she and her mother had, at some point, worked in the Canneries. If I recall correctly, my brother enjoyed going to the little beach next to the Outrigger (McAbee beach). The Outrigger restaurant is no more, but the building still exists and is currently called the Fish Hopper restaurant (2024).

The Carousel Fine Candies store, Wharf #2, Monterey CA 11x14 2024. Digital Print. My favorite shop on Wharf #1 was the Candy shop. My family would always stop by Carousel Candy to pick up some saltwater taffy, a candy apple and/or sometimes cotton candy. Later as a father, my brother would take some of his children to the wharf, continuing the tradition of indulging his kids, and himself, with some sweets. This is still my favorite shop on the wharf!

Pacific Grove shoreline 8x10 2025. Oil on canvas board. In spring, as you wander the coastal road between Monterey and Pacific Grove and drift past Lovers Point, the vibrant purple pink blooms of the Drosanthemum floribundum ice plant spill across the ground in a breathtaking “Magic Carpet.” It always amazes me that something so vivid and delicate can flourish along such a rocky, windswept coastline, turning the rugged shore into a moment of pure color and wonder.

Central California Ice Plants (Marina State Beach CA) Windswept - Oil on board, 12 x 16, 2025 Growing up in the Monterey Bay area, I was captivated by the brilliant transformation of coastal ice plants in the summertime — its vivid hues igniting the landscape with bursts of color. In my Central California Ice Plant series, I sought to preserve that fleeting beauty, capturing the striking interplay between the jewel-toned ice plant, the golden sand dunes, and the deep, shifting blues of Monterey Bay. Beyond the palette, this series is a tribute to a place that has shaped me, reflecting not just the visual splendor of the coastline but the deep personal connection I hold to it. There are four paintings in this series: Windswept, Wanderer, Vista, and Transitions.

Monterey Cypress Tree - Carmel Beach view, 11x14 2023. Oil on Board. When my mother passed away in October 2022, some close friends gave me a Cypress Bonsai in memory of her. On the first Mother’s Day after her passing, I visited her grave in Seaside and then went to Carmel Beach with its white sand to reflect on her passing and a future without her. As is common along the coast, the fog had just come in and I could barely distinguish the boundaries between the sand, ocean, and sky. The fog loomed off the coast like some specter struggling to overtake the coastline for the evening. The Monterey Cypress trees lining Carmel Beach, enveloped in the fog, seemed to take on the role of an old sentinel overlooking the beach - comforting. These trees had been there long before I was born and will be there well after I too shall pass. I was emotionally moved by these trees that can live up to 300 years and have spiritual meaning: ‘…a symbol of immortality as an emblem of eternal life after death…’ I felt compelled to try to capture these sentinels - their beauty, strength, and the comfort they bring me.

Oak Tree, Winter at night, 20x16 2019. Oil on Canvas. After doing the 2017 California landscape series, I felt I had not done the Oak trees justice, and I love the shapes of these trees, so I did another series with the focus being the trees. These are some of my favorites.

Chocolate and Orange, 10x10 2023. Oil on Board. Wayne Thiebaud passed away in Dec. 2021 and I have always loved his work, so I decided to do 4 paintings of cupcakes. I made clay models and painted them, which I then lighted to help capture the shadow structure and color. This is one of the four.

Don't Tell Me How to Paint, 8x8 2021. Oil on Board. I have been playing around with my painting style and I was starting to hear various comments about that. So I decided to have a little fun. The painting is basically an abstracted representation of me walking away from the, umm, commentaries (purple head) coming my way.

Color Composition #1, 36x24 2001. Oil on Paper. I started a new job and I did not have the time to work on more complex paintings but wanted to still be working with the paint. I reflected on my Fire Hydrant paintings and how I enjoyed abstracting out the landscape behind them and decided to do a series of abstracted landscapes which I call the Color Field series. I really had fun with these and played a lot with the color and the visual vibration created between the colors I selected. These paintings were a joy to create and resonated with many. The smaller square paintings are stunning (if I do say so myself) when matted and framed. This composition: Thoughts of a chili pepper field in summer.
