‍Painter of mana and impressions. Nature is wonderful and mystical, but fleeting in our mechanical and digital age. So I paint to remind us all of nature, and as a refuge from my high technology day job. I emulate the impressionists, using oil paints and bristly brushes. I prefer natural and traditional pigments over the modern organics. My style is bold and painterly. I like capturing landscapes en plein air (painting outside). Magic the Gathering mana cards are also a big source of inspiration. My influences are my father Steve Guerra, Turner Vinson, Antonin Passemard, Ulrich Gleiter, Stuart Davies, Jose Trujillo, William Hawkins, Hester Berry, and Tara Will.
