about the artist
I have been doing and selling my art for many years now. I have been painting and drawing since the age of four. I started out as a surrealist artist as a child and as a teenager. Surrealism was my first love as an artist—especially after seeing Ernst Fuchs' work.

I have provided cover and interior illustrations for many publishers, and have exhibited and sold work in many shows.

I don't paint for everyone. Over the years, I've come to understand my audience and supporters well, and I'm loyal to them. People who understand my work understand the place that uninhibited expression and symbolism have in art. These are the people I paint for. If you want puppies and baskets of flowers— I'm not your artist.

I specialize in very detailed pen and ink drawings and oil paintings. I also do a lot of pen and wash, and work in graphite and colored pencils. My work has been published in the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Finland, and Australia.

I've done work for many publishers including: Delirium Books, HeadPress, and Hippocampus Press.

In addition to dark surrealism, I also do a great deal of musical art that is inspired from my experiences as a jazz guitarist. The energy that is created during musical improvisation is a real joy to express in visual form as well, via colors and shapes.
