Milwaukee Lakefront

Original painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20

The Calatrava design of the Milwaukee Art Museum is a spectacular achievement in beauty and engineering. The Quadracci Pavillion and the open "wings" of the Burke Brise Soleil face the waters of lake Michigan and accent the skyline of my favorite city. The city where I was born and raised.

Milwaukee at Night

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 20x16

Milwaukee is a vibrant and progressive city with an active arts scene. I grew up in Milwaukee and I will always be grateful for the wonderful art experiences I was exposed to as a young artist, through scholarships provided to the Milwaukee Art Museum Saturday program.

Milwaukee River Lights

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20

This is an impressionistic scene of downtown Milwaukee looking south on the river. I wanted to capture the glittering lights and their reflections on the water and also the energy and mood of the downtown area.

Milwaukee Art Museum and Skyline

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 24x30

The Calatrava design of the Milwaukee Art Museum on Lake Michigan is a spectacular achievement in beauty and engineering. The open "wings" of the Burke Brise Soleil are accented by the skyline of Milwaukee with the War Memorial on the right and a dramatic evening sky above.

Buffalo and Broadway Milwaukee's 3rd Ward

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x12

Cold rain and sleet form the backdrop for this painting of a small section of Milwaukee's HistoricThird Ward. People hurry along the wet pavement seeking the shelter of the large overhang and wish for an early spring.

Rainy Days and Mondays

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 20x16

I always liked the Karen Carpenter song with the same title. The only difference is rainy days and mondays never get me down. I love rainy days ...the wetter the better. Rain storms have always made me feel invigorated and very creative. Painting on a stormy day is one of my favorite things. Curling up with a good book as the rain pounds on the roof is also right up there with my favorites.

This scene could be any big city in the rain such as New York, Chicago, or Milwaukee.
