Over the years I have worked in a variety of mediums. Below are the links to view my work. Many of the original works are sold but, prints can be found in the shop.

Telling My Story With Art
Art and Blog
I think most artist websites provide you with the stunning array of their artwork with the details of the size of the art and where to buy originals and prints. Totally makes sense.
But, as per usual, I have decided to try something different. If you read the full explanation on the About page each painting is a glimpse into my everyday life. I think the story is as important as the imagery; the two work in unison when I am creating.
Art is a personal thing – if it’s successful, the image speaks to people; makes them feel something and maybe even reflect on their own lives. However, there have been times I have seen a piece of artwork I admire, and wonder what the artist was thinking…. and so, I’m offering that to you, the viewer.
The blog posts below are just that – the insight into what my inspiration was for the work.
Also, if you’re interested in buying a piece of art or print – check out the Shop. : )

Take It Slow

Green
… with envy. I was recently in a gallery and stopped to admire a family of misty landscapes. They were all pretty big – like 3’ x 4’ pieces. They...
I Wanna Punch Something
I like to think that I’m not a violent person. I grew up with a violent parent and early on made a conscious decision to not act out when...
Tenuous Times – a painting to deal with this shit-show.
I painted this piece in the middle of 2021 – things felt…. well, tenuous. Actually, the last few years have been rife with some form of upheaval. The previous presidential...
There She Goes
I mentioned this painting in my post of “See Ya’ Later” a piece that was completed as I was making the decision to transition from one place of employment to...
See Ya’ Later
During certain parts of the year – I create work for art shows. When this happens, the gallery puts out a prospectus detailing the theme and it is up to...
