You deserve more than just a memory… I have drawn and painted hundreds of portraits. I understand your concerns about having a once-in-a-lifetime portrait painted to preserve and capture cherished reminiscences. My specialties are detailed watercolors, oils, drawings, mixed media and acrylics. Until recently I also created painted works in ground glass medium for stained glass.

I bring a lifetime commitment to fine art and I am dedicated to work with you to create a lasting treasure to beautifully preserve your memories in portraiture for generations to come.

Any setting or location, together we will create and complete a portrait to capture the moment … be it formal, casual, an interior setting or outdoors… of your child, a family, a corporate portrait, wedding, beloved pet, home… or your favorite landscape.

My gallery page is divided into several sections from portraits, primarily in my preferred medium watercolor, to graphite portraits and other subjects. Included is a brief history on the several thousand year history of watercolor, the oldest painting medium.
