Local Oasis

I’m a contemporary narrative painter and muralist who lives in Boulder City, Nevada and runs a gallery in Las Vegas, Nevada. My colorful paintings breathe new life into historical, literary, and mythological stories. I dabbled in fine art my entire life but only turned to painting in a serious manner in 2015. I’ve worked professionally as an animator for over 30 years, spending time at Walt Disney Studios and DreamWorks. Of late, my paintings have joined 7 solo shows and 70 group shows at 36 galleries and museums in 8 states. I’ve painted murals for the cities of Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, and Cal-Nev-Ari, Nevada; Clark County, Nevada; Fraser and Arvada, Colorado; and Moulton, Alabama. An enthusiastic supporter of community arts, I co-founded the Dam Short Film Festival and sat on the board of the Las Vegas Arts District.
