I am thrilled that you are interested in my art, and I welcome emails and phone calls! My love has always been 2D art, and I enjoy painting in a hyper realistic style. Many hyper realists paint small subjects on large canvas, exaggerating the detail to a degree where even a camera or Photoshop would be hard pressed to duplicate the clarity. I flip this concept 180 degrees. My work fits in your palm, yet it can be magnified to many times the original size, and still appears tightly rendered. This innovative approach reaches beyond traditional fine art, and the work I create is functional in small spaces, or as an installation of several pieces on larger walls. My favorite subjects are collections. Everybody collects something - shoes, hats, bottles, books, steins...I am on a mission to paint them all! In this way, I delight in sharing my passion with art lovers who appreciate work that pulls from the edgy contemporary styles as well as classic compositions. I work primarily in acrylics, colored pencils, but frequently I'll bring out some old friends - oils, watercolors, graphite.
