Artist Statement:
Over the years, working in
several different mediums, I
have specialized as a portrait
and fantasy artist, doing most
of this work in graphite
pencil and acrylic paint. In
my illustrations I romanticize
reality by integrating
familiar objects and people
with dreamlike atmospheres,
frequently combining realism
with surrealism. The playful,
enchanting subjects and
settings in my illustrations
are often inspired by my two
charming little boys living in
that magical world of
childhood.
My artwork is a means of
putting my mind at ease by
describing the thoughts and
dreams within and making them
something others can enjoy
again and again. With each new
work, I am striving for
perfection in creating a
beautiful piece that is
commanding, definitive, and
powerful, yet, executed with
delicate precision; a piece
that will give my collectors
beauty to enjoy, encouragement
to follow their dreams, and
inspiration to truly see and
experience the intrinsic
magnificent wonders of
everyday life.
