Crafting Tomorrow's Artistry

Artwork

Transform your visionary ideas into artistic masterpieces. Commissioned artwork can be arranged to immortalize your cherished family members or capture the essence of the great outdoors. Previous commissions include Western landscapes, portraits, and wildlife such as the epic tale of that big fish that didn’t get away.
Each portrait commission is a collaboration, where your vision and my expertise converge to capture the essence of the subject. From initial sketches to the final brushstroke, I ensure that every detail reflects your story. I specialize in realistic, life-like portraits that celebrate the individuality of each person.
My commissioned landscape paintings are crafted to transport you to your favorite places. Whether it's a serene beach, a bustling cityscape, or a majestic mountain range, I work closely with you to capture the beauty and emotion of the scenery. Each piece is created with vibrant colors and rich textures, bringing your memories to life on canvas.
Commissioning a pet portrait means preserving the unique spirit and personality of your beloved animal. Using a range of mediums, I create life like representations that celebrate the bond you share. From playful poses to soulful expressions, each portrait is a heartfelt tribute to your furry friend. My artistic approach consistently weaves vibrant colors and meticulous composition into every piece.

Paintings
For the discerning eye, you can order reproductions of paintings from this site in various formats, including oil on canvas (oc), giclées (g), metal (m), or lithographs and water color (wc)—all signed and numbered. I offer high-quality giclées on various surfaces, providing an excellent option for fine art reproduction.
Oil
From fish tales to family treasures, my commissioned oil paintings serve as a vivid memorialization of my clients' most cherished experiences. The gallery features examples like the spectacular recounting of the BIG fish that now adorns a client's wall. My travels to Africa brought exotic wildlife into my portfolio, with detailed depictions of giraffes, elephants, and zebras. I also work on notable figures such as a renowned surgeon, whose healing hands are now immortalized and displayed permanently in the Arkansas Heart Hospital. Portraits of beloved pets are created to an exact likeness in oil on acrylic. (oa)
Watercolor
The alluring characteristic of transparent colors has allowed me to create numerous portraits in watercolor and mixed media. Known for its unique beauty and delicate handling, watercolor enables me to encapsulate the essence of a subject with a gentle yet vivid touch. (wc)
For years, I have designed and crafted custom jewelry for myself, my family, friends, and customers, applying my keen sense of color, style, and purpose. My creations range from unique accessories like a ladder Möbius strip bracelet crafted from thick sterling silver and black epoxy to stunning earrings incorporating ashes from a former eruption of Mt. Etna in Sicily.
My travels provide invaluable inspiration for my work. Explore my gallery page for a diverse assortment of handmade jewelry, sometimes adorned with handcrafted glass and nuances of silver or gold. Each piece has a story of its own.
