"I am embarking on a lifetime goal to paint at least one scene of every major U.S. and World city."...to achieve something the art world hasn't yet seen. A collection of global cityscapes and events over one's lifetime.


Why focus on cityscapes? I love to travel, to see places I've never been to, and meet people from all walks of life and all cultures. I love the electricity and uniqueness of the every city. I enjoy painting in an impressionist manner because when impressionist works are viewed up close they are seemingly carelessly created; yet from afar they are breathtaking.


I plan to continue painting urban cityscapes and events for life.  I hope you'll refreshingly find an artist with a unique and simple lifetime vision; an affinity to capture marquee depictions of each particular city, (along with some frank anecdotes of my personal experiences at each locale).

Why is my plan unique? Of those who paint; only a fraction chose to paint scenes of cities. And of those who do paint urban scenes; they only paint just a few locales in their lifetime thus no one has ever visited and painted every major city of the world. So it's one hell of a challenge for me.

*All paintings are based on views I personally select and capture. None are created from others works, based on popular photos, postcards, etc. They are all truly original.
