News and Announcements
Greetings Art Lovers!
Winter is upon us and soon another year will end. 2022 has been an interesting year that felt a bit like a wild roller coaster ride. Not the new fast zippy ones of today but more like the rickety wooden structures that you always have that question in your head "Is this thing safe?".
My latest painting "Pink Lemonade" allows you to still have that fresh happy sunshine feel even in the winter months.

As fall quickly approaches I can't help but use all the wonderful colors that Mother Nature reveals this time of year. The days grow shorter and the trees produce a spectacular array of color across the forests and fields. I tried to use the colors of fall in this surreal portrait. I hope you enjoy!
Here are a few shows I will participating in this fall.
October 8-9 I will be at the Summerlin Art Festival located in Las Vegas NV (Downtown Summerlin)

Challenging yourself each and every day makes you a better person and certainly makes an artist a better artist. I love experimenting and challenging my abilities as an artist. Crossing over into different genres and meshing them together is something I love to do. I hope you all enjoy my new work and take on a challenge for yourself.....it is so rewarding.
