 I'm a self employed fine artist specializing in traditional abstract work. I have painted an occasional landscape and still life but it is Abstract painting that allows me to put the emotion into my work. I also enjoys donating pieces to various charities.I am self taught. The world around us and personal experiences have been my greatest teacher. I am here to sell original work. Pieces will say if they are for sold in the 'artists comments' My originals are not set to price. I want my work to be affordable for the consumer. I am currently shipping only to the US. If you are interested in an original piece of work please feel free to contact me via email. Thank you for taking the time to view my gallery. |

 Doses Of Inspiration "The man who arrives at the doors of artistic creation with none of the madness of the muses would be convinced that technical ability alone was enough to make an artist. What that man creates by means of reason will pale before the art of inspired beings." ~Plato I'm not an abstractionist. I'm not interested in the relationship of color or form or anything else. I'm interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on.” ― Mark Rothko I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration. ― Frida Kahlo |
Night Fall  I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day. ~Vincent Van Gogh |

I had a piece that I was so proud of and I received the 'DECLINE' in my inbox. Like anyone else, I was so upset. It actually depressed the heck out of me. BUT what happened was someone took notice of that particular piece. They wanted to buy it. Not only was it sold but it is currently hanging in the Washington Design Center in DC. SO, what I am trying to say is no one can tell you your art is not good. If you feel in your heart you are happy with what you created then that is ALL that matters. Sure we all have our favorites and what not. But a true artist is not just created he believes and stands by his craft.
