About Me

myphoto.jpg

I've been a full-time artist for twenty years. Through the years I've been in numerous solo and group shows, mostly in the West - Seattle, Mendocino,San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, and Bisbee, Az. - but also in the Midwest and South - Wisconsin (Lake Superior area), Chicago, and Atlanta. In all these places I created unique works suited for these areas. I have sold well over a thousand paintings. But of course, not every work in a show sells (oftentimes not even the best ones), galleries go out of business (they can even be more unstable than artists), the artist travels on ... This has created an enormous archive of unsold, maybe even never shown paintings.
I finally decided to do something about it, and you, the dear buyers, are the lucky ones. I stand completely behind all of my work that is for sale, here, whenever it was created. Some works listed are as recently painted as last month, others are a decade old. But all are recognizably my work. If you like it, that's all that should matter.
I am also a competent carpenter. So, many of my canvas stretchers were made by me. I also made many of the frames. If a painting is on in one of my hand-made frames, I will try to make note of that, or email me. This does increase the works value - imagine if you owned a Picasso where he made the stretcher and the frame!
