Oil Portraits
All of the portraits shown on this site were done in person, with the exception of the Refugee. I took the photograph of the refugee and her child in Sudan during the civil war and later did the painting as an homage to the dignity of refugees and women. The young man was running in a marathon in Loudoun County, Va. The smiling woman was a commission in New York City. The smoker was from a street person I met in Washington, DC.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am an artist in Loudoun County, Virginia who makes portraits by oil, photography and charcoal. In addition, I make custom ceramic pieces.
One exciting ceramic project I am now advancing is the "Spirit Pot," an urn for pets. For many people, a pet never dies so long as the spirit lives on. The Spirit Pot provides a symbolic ceramic vessel for the spirit, each one unique and custom, though according to a common design based on 19th Century French and earlyNative American traditions.
