First, a note: if I’ve marked you as a contact, or a shot as a favorite, I clearly like your work but, even more importantly: I plan on learning something from you! Thank you for your fine work!

As to me, I’m a professional fine artist and illustrator producing original paintings, photographs and graphics. Educated at LA's Otis/Parsons Art Institute, I grew up in Southern California's mountainous coastal desert and lived for years in the greater Los Angeles megalopolis, and am now exploring the very different experience and beauty of the damp Pacific Northwest.

Fundamentally, my work explores a human existence--ranging from straightforward observation of our surroundings to surreal explorations drawing on a synthesis of life-experience, dreams and imagination.

Though I work to create images that convey a sense of wonder at the universe and its beauty, my ultimate hope is that some viewer, somewhere, sometime, will suddenly gasp with discovery and recognition.
