My art forms range from drawings and paintings
to wood and metal sculpture. A wide range of subjects are depicted in my work.

Creating a quality art product
involves a knowledge base which has been researched prior to creating the
finished product. My belief is that experimentation with different techniques
and media is an essential part of the art process. Experimentation helps me
formulate the methods that will be utilized to complete a unique and
individual piece of art, which will withstand the test of time.

My paintbrush creations are
conceptualized and executed with much thought and passion with the idea that
people that purchase my work will own and cherish it for generations.

The longevity of artwork is
determined by how it is cared for or framed. With proper care fine art will
last a lifetime or even for many centuries. Fine art prints, giclee prints,
original watercolors and drawings should be framed with acid free materials.

I recomment that each print
have an acid free mat and backing, conservation glass and a frame of your
choice.
