After a long career in graphic design, which is all commission based, I feel I do best with parameters and am comfortable creating work that others are looking for. If you have an area where you would like to put a painting, send images of the room, the wall where the art is to be hung and a measurement that I can use to determine the correct size and proportion and I can create from there. Whatever you want created will have the style seen in my other work.

I draw inspiration from a wide range of artistic expressions, but hold a special appreciation for the artists and artwork that emerged from New York during the 1940s and 50s, as well as the whimsical yet sophisticated creations of Paul Klee. As a result, my work reflects a blend of these influences. My partner, Kim Dodd, and I are immersing ourselves in the vibrant art community of Columbus, Georgia, where we continually marvel at the creativity and camaraderie.
