Art and Autodidacticism

A pencil sketch of a geometric origami rabbit on white paper.

Many of my strengths with traditional mediums have been developed without the guidance of instructors. Influence of peers and mentors to a noteworthy degree inspired my progression only with select practices (plaster sculpting, screen-printing, etc).

While I’m familiar with many traditional mediums of visual art, I specialize in acrylic and oil paint. Every piece I make is created with an ever-increasing level of care and attention.

Whether you’re a new collector, a returning collector, a prospective gallery, or a visiting guess, I hope you enjoy the online gallery and archives.

If you need me, I’ll be in the contact section.
