This web site provides a place where you can view my work, both past and present. Although the subject matter and style might vary, my work represents a search for a synthesis between illusion and abstraction with the balance weighted in favor of illusionary realism.
     I am attracted to subjects whose beauty resides in the truth of their reality rather than their exoticism. I believe that beauty derives from how something is portrayed, not from what is portrayed. The subject that engages me most fully is the human figure. The challenge of creating an image that embodies the reality and personality of the sitter is endlessly fascinating.
     Most of the work on this site is available for purchase. Prices are available upon request, but in general, prices for portraits and landscapes of a moderate size start at $1000 depending on media used and complexity. I accept commissions of various kinds. Inquiries are welcome. I hope you find this site rewarding and feel free to ask questions or make comments.
