"I just got lucky" to live in one of the most beautiful spots in the world. Santa Cruz has some of the most exciting surfing spots in the west as well as beautiful beaches and Redwood forests. The most amazing thing about the place we live is probably to be in the center of the Monterey Bay marine sanctuary where abundant ocean life, amazing marine mammals and world class Ocean research centers give me the inspiration to bring my fascination for the Ocean on canvas.
Welcome
My pictures
My pictures are showing the Oceanlife of the Monterey Bay. The Wave Shredder Series is showing Surf Art scenes from our shores. Being a European and loving Italy I dedicated the other half of my work to the peace of landscape scenes from Tuscany.
My art is painted with Acrylic colors on canvas or linen. Please inquire for showings and pricing.
