I enjoy the process of creating a painting, deconstructing and reforming what inspires me into simplified but recognizable images where the viewer can infer their own narratives. I work in both oils and acrylics, depicting common scenes and landscapes with vibrant colors, expressive brushwork, and simplified shapes. I often start from a photograph I've taken and preparatory sketches in a sketchbook or on an iPad. While I enjoy the trend towards digital art and fully support the use of digital tools, I find the tactile process of applying paint and crafting a tangible, finished product that others can enjoy to be increasingly important.
I live and work in Roeland Park, KS in the suburbs surrounding Kansas City, MO. I've studied fine art and graphic design and graduated with a Minor in Fine Art from Park University. I am a veteran of the United States Army and have had a couple other careers in different industries but, art is a constant.
About original and unique artworks
Original artwork is available for purchase, I determine prices by size. Please contact me if you are interested in acquiring an original work. I am also happy to discuss creating a unique original work for you.
About prints
The prints available directly from the store are professionally produced giclée prints. They are produced with archival quality inks that are fade resistant, on archival quality papers, and I approve the final product as being an accurate representation of the original. Under ideal conditions, a print framed behind UV-resistant glass using an acid-free matte should retain its color for a minimum of 85 years.
About custom print sizes
I’m happy to collaborate with you on various print sizes, with delivery in about 4 weeks. Reproductions can be created in any size. Please contact me for information with your preferred print and size for pricing.
