About Us

I am a professional artist with work in Galleries in the KC area. I work in Graphite, Pastel and Oil, and create drawings and paintings which have awards of excellence, and are displayed and for sale in shows. I specialize in Portrait and Figurative work, especially commissioned work of people, animals. Creating an artistic "reflection" of a cherished someone or something.

And those are the ones I need to stay in touch with.

I am really good at what i do. My portraits are very realistic likenesses in oil or graphite with pastel coloring fine art pieces, and reflect the personality/character of the subject I paint or draw.  My focus is to tell the story of my subject.    (more) I am really good at what i do.

What Donald Philip said...  and as an artist, building a professional online image.  An artist's market is broad and narrow all at the same time.  We have to let an entire area know what we do, but there are only a few who are interested in a fine art product or a portrait.  (more) What Donald Philip said...  and as an artist, building a professional online image.  An artist's market is broad and narrow all at the same time.  We have to let an entire area know what we do, but there are only a few who are interested in a fine art product or a portrait.
