Commissions
As an artist, I paint not for art’s sake, but for people. My inspiration and greatest delight comes from making people’s dreams into a reality they love.
Hence I enjoy exploring a variety of mediums and surfaces, so in the gallery below you’ll find illustrations, portraits, wall murals, furniture, and canvas with everything from Charcoal and Pastels to Oil, Acrylic, and regular ol’ house paint.

INCOMPLETE – More pictures coming soon!
Drawings
Graphite, Pastels, and Charcoal. Charcoal is definitely a favorite, for it allows for great depth and range of values – dark to light. It is extremely expressive and relatable. Second to that would be Pastels, which are excellent for illustrations and portraits.
Paintings
Acrylic and Oil. Acrylic’s rapid dry time makes for a quick painting, while oil painting allows for exceptional blending and layering.
Murals
It is amazing what regular old house paint can do when you paint big enough! (Several more to publish soon!)
Furniture
These are some of my FAVORITE pieces, ever!! Mostly acrylic on wood, with the occasional oil – there is a particlar shade of blue that seems to only come out in that medium!
