A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME. Ever since I watched my 5 year old brother captivate others with his whimsical, engaging clown drawings, I have been intrigued by the power of image making. It was fascinating to me (a year older) to witness his innate confidence and the sheer delight he experienced when he was creating, -- as well as seeing what he would come up with!
When I picked up my own crayons, I soon discovered an alternate world that one can disappear into when one is putting pencil, crayon, or paint to a blank support with the purpose of creating. This activity, for me, in combination with many road trips traveling and moving as a youngster became not only a ticket into an exploration of creative possibilities but it also provided a means for me to detach so that I could observe and sort out my small life's events while also taking note of and soaking up the world's wonder with my sponge mind.
As an admirer and painter of the landscape and figures, I often say that I am in the business of extending one's memories and special experiences. I render the sites of one's vacations and favorite locations as well as portraits of loved ones, human and animal.
WHAT I OFFER. I am a studio and plein air painter, proficient in oils, acrylic, my own style of mixed media (watercolor and colored pencil), and drawing media. I create originals and sell professionally created museum quality reproductions of my work on paper and canvas. I also create custom, oversize prints of my works on canvas for customers that I embellish personally (in effect, creating a new original that can be quite affordable for the size).
HOW I SERVE. I have worked with the public for many years and am particularly happy when I can listen, hear beyond the words, and deliver exactly, -- or above and beyond, what a customer is looking for. Finding ways to best deliver and please those with whom I collaborate is a huge pleasure for me.
The personal touch is integral to my offerings. Whether my art is created specifically for a customer or not, I interview the client about the space/environment of the new work's prospective home to pick up on the client's preferences and style (and especially if I am involved in the framing process). I often personally hang my completed works of art in my clients' homes.

Maker Policies
Shipping Policy
I ship domestically and internationally, using the most economical and trusted means, be it USPS, UPS, or FedEx. Commissioned works are insured and tracked. Shipping is extra and is based on weight and destination. Some countries do not ensure tracking services to the final destination address, -- or shipping may be quite an exorbitant venture. Please inquire if you are interested in pursuing having a custom work sent to a country outside of the US so I may ascertain best methods of delivery.
Installation Policy
None
Maker Policy
Custom work is non-refundable and once in-progress, custom projects cannot be cancelled. For stock items purchased directly from my portfolio, I offer returns within 14 days of delivery. Shipping for returns is at the customer's expense. If you need an item by a specific date or for a specific event, please let me know in advance of accepting a proposal. REFUNDS and EXCHANGES Returns are accepted if you are not satisfied with your artwork. Every effort shall be made in the making process to affirm that the artwork/project is being created according to your specifications. This includes photos sent of work in progress with the option to comment or make revisions to the work in progress. More than 2 revisions will incur an additional charge to the original price quoted, and shall be noted as such (with the additional dollar amount given in writing, and agreement to the new terms in place) before they are put into effect by the artist. Please contact me within three business days of receipt of this order for a return request before shipping it back to me. The art/product must be returned in its original condition, in its original packing within three days of its delivery. All shipping charges are the buyer’s responsibility BOTH WAYS. In other words, both the shipping charges of sending the artwork and the shipping charges of return of the artwork will be made by the buyer. After my receipt of the artwork, refund for the full value of the item will be provided given that the returned item is not damaged or used. Return shipments of paintings and canvas or paper reproductions MUST BE INSURED and made via FedEx or USPS. A tracking number with signature required is a must if shipment occurs through the US Postal Service. Smaller items may be shipped via USPS -- insurance is not necessary, but a tracking number is still required Please do not accept the package if it is damaged, please file a claim and return it to me.
