I have made the study of the human figure my specialty, so most of the work I do is portraiture, but I enjoy other subjects too.
PAINTINGS: The most requested size of paintings I do are 11x14" or 16x20". Oil paint is the classic medium for paintings. There is nothing that compares to the richness of color in an original oil painting. An oil painting is a treasure to last a lifetime.
To ensure the highest quality and longevity, each painting is crafted on sealed, archival quality panels.
DRAWINGS: The most requested size of drawings are 5x7" and 8x10", These sizes work well as gifts to family members and friends, and are also sometimes requested as a gift to someone whose loved one has passed away.
All drawings are done with carbon pencils (similar to charcoal), on acid-free, archival quality paper.

I like to work from life, but working from photographs for reference is the practical approach.
If you already have a photo or photos in mind that you would like me to work from, you may send it to me via email or provide a original or scanned copy.
If not, we will arrange a photo shoot to gather the photos I will use in composing the artwork. For paintings, if it is an option, I may want to do a color study - which is a small oil painting sketch - in person or on site.
The time frame for completion depends on whether it is a painting or drawing, the size, how many requests I currently have, and what those deadlines are. Let me know what you need and I will let you know if I can do it.
When I have worked out a composition I run it past you for approval. I also keep you informed of the progress of the artwork, and submit an image of the finished artwork to you for your approval at the end. During the process, don’t hesitate to ask questions or communicate what you hope to see in the finished work.
Each painting or drawing is given care and attention to become its own beautiful work of art. When I am asked to create an artwork, I’ve realized that it is always of something that has meaning to the person. I love this aspect of my work – getting to create something that brings joy.
