The work included in this website encompasses various art forms,
from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, using a whole range
of media and techniques.
Paintings
My paintings are mostly oil on canvas and some in vibrant pastels. I'm usually inspired by either a moment in present time or a past memory. My style swings from the realistic to the whimsical, but always dramatic and contemporary.
