These works are the most recently completed.  Enjoy!

Works in this collection are done in collaboration with the subjects in the paintings.  Each person begins by answering lots of questions about the things they love from favorite colors, foods, and plants to spiritual beliefs, sports, superheroes, hopes and dreams.

Once we've collected lots of objects that symbolize or embody their answers as well as some fun filler materials in the colors they like and may like with their faovrites, we find a base to build on - sometimes it's a wig mesh normally used to start a weave, sometimes a ball cap or other hat.  From this point, it is completely up to the subject/person which objects get included and where they will be put on their self-portrait compositions.

Once the headdress is complete, we put it on them and take about 2,000 photos from all sorts of angles and in all sorts of lighting conditions.  I go through every one of them and find the best of the best to base my painting on.

The works in this collection are portraits in the traditional sense as well as portraits whose character is shown via the hands.  They are in a variety of media drawn or painted from live models and from photographs.

The works in this collection are done without a live model.  They are either attractive collections of items painted from life, or animals drawn or painted from photos.

This collection includes art that varies from Classic tradition figure and portraiture to silly mixed media work, as well as drawings and paintings from plaster casts and 2-dimensional representations of plaster casts done by masters of sculpture and of drawing.

I am a great lover of greeting cards!  It is such a good feeling to find one with a picture or words that have just that right message.  Some of my pieces have been perfect for various occasions, so I started printing them as cards - often with a message, but not always.  I still use a few of my pieces this way, but more often now I am creating some works just for the cards.  Perhaps one is perfect for that message you've been wanting to send...

Gorgeous Gicleé prints on stretched canvas ready for framing or on fine art paper are available as well as superb photo prints on archive quality paper of any artwork on my website.  Simply choose the type of print you want and the size from the options, then fill in the title you would like a print of in the comments when ordering, or e-mail me through the website to tell me which title you would prefer. 

There is an approximate turn around time of two weeks to produce the print, get it signed, and ship it. International orders will need further time and additional shipping costs, which can be arranged by communicating with me in the Contact the Artist section of my website.
