Hello - I'm a self-taught artist who enjoys painting, drawing, and mixed media. My artwork has received several awards, is in private and corporate collections, and has appeared in various publications.

​​

My realistic drawings require several weeks to finish since they contain numerous layers of pigment. Painting, however; takes me less time. Pencil and charcoal allow me to capture the appearance of color through shading. Digital art provides more flexibility and convenience.

​

No projectors, grids, or tracing methods were used as an aid in the process. I'm a creative/stylistic realist, not a photorealist. Photographs are used only for reference.

​

As an artist, I want to be genuine and inventive in my exploration of new concepts since these are the things that will sustain my love of art.​
