While I was truckdriving, I was always astonished by the beauty of the always changing sky. When I tried to capture it on camera, the colors were  never  as beautiful as in reality, there was depth missing,

and the urge of wanting to paint it out was born.

A few years later it became impossible to keep my job as a truck driver,

my spine had suffered a lot from hard labor,

arthritis and spinal cord tethering made an unemployed person out of me.

So I became an unemployed with a self-employed secondary activity

as an artist. 

Painting in my own time, was one of the few things that I could do.

I hope that I can touch some people to their soul with my art,

that would be the greatest fullfilment in my life.

I hope you will enjoy my art and website, it will both always be in progress,

never finished, never done, as I am too.
