I have been painting and drawing all my life. This arises spontaneously from the things I love most, not the least of which is writing, which naturally makes me want to depict places and characters. This process is somewhat nonlinear and has a life of its own. Like a feral cat, it comes and goes as it pleases; when it comes around, I feed and care for it, and don’t try to force things when it’s done with me. It is a wild and graceful friend, albeit not that reliable.

I have a series of online galleries on Fine Art America and Deviant Art where you can view and purchase prints of original oil paintings and drawings. Click on the titles below to see the entire galleries.
