Education
He graduated from Boise State University with a degree in Art. He specializes in painting in oil, pastel, and acrylic.
Expromanticism
The term is a portmanteau of Expressionism and Romanticism. Although this new style describes many of his floral and figural works, he has done works in other styles as well.
Characteristics
Although no single one of these characteristics constitutes a style, the combination is novel. The choice of colors and color application comes from Expressionism, while the freedom of handling, preferred subjects and movement draw on Romanticism.
The style emerged in the late 80's without the specific intent to create the hybrid.
