That's me, so friends say! And so it is, or so I'm told my artistic renderings in oils and pastels are also portrayed, I'm definitely still evolving as an artist, but at this time in my life, my visions seem to be electrified, and my insights and empathic feelings towards the universe and all that belongs within…far more intensified. Thus through my art work (some, but not all), I hope to push some of your stereotypical buttons a bit, to artistically and visually nudge and awaken your passions and feelings to the point where you feel compelled to revisit my art work on this website many times. While continually exploring images of everyday life, I seek to make all my subjects breathe and when I think I can see an oil painting/pastel inhaling, then, I can exhale feeling satisfied that my work has been completed. For as Paul Cézanne has said, "A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art"

I am fortunate to be a part of a studio that uses nude models so these prints will remain a constant on this site. But, after recently visiting Ghana, West Africa, I've also decided to begin a Ghana series…the first of which are currently displayed. The children of Ghana embraced my heart and thus there will be many figurative oil portraits of these beautiful children displayed here and available for purchasing. As often depicted, these children are not just mere black faces devoid of facial features; they are children with beautiful spirits, emotions and individual personalities that I hope I've been able to capture for you. ALL AVAILABLE PRINTS ARE GICLEE QUALITY FINE PRINTS EITHER ON CANVAS OR ON PAPER. PLEASE INQUIRE AS TO PRICING EITHER BY CALLING OR WRITING. Giclee prints on canvas or paper begin at $150.00. Original oil paintings range from $850 – 10,000 depending upon size and the intensity of labor involved.
