As long as I can rember, I have been painting and creating. Oil painting for 35 years has been a wonderful continuous journey. The fasination and inspiration of different groups and styles has been very spontanious. Self publishing my art has been very rewarding, and I have enjoyed the exchange between the collectors and myself.
Often my collectors have comissioned me do do a painting taking my journey into a new direction, enjoying every step of the experience leading me into a new horizen. At this moment my fasination for new challenges and comissions fills my days with great joy.
Printing my first canvas giclee' in 1994 gave my collectors options. The qualitity was stunning!
The option of buying either an original or a canvas giclee' print has been great. Sometimes the collector needs to be able to put a special size in a certain area and the giclee' print can be small or very large. The canvas giclee' print has been wonderful either framed or with a Gallery wrap. The quality of my prints are superior. They are printed by Premiere Graphics with pigmented inks with a long extended life. The prints are printed on canvas coated with a liquid laminate and then stretched. Size of stretcher bars are your option. Shipping has been no problem, always insuring the package for what you have paid for it.
My photography has been rekindled photographing the Nut Cracker the last 5 years and panoramas. Having a grand body of Nut Cracker Shots, I hope to have a musem show and maybe a book.

Moving to Nothern California
Living in the gold and wine country has been a wonderful oppertunity for growth. There was not any venues in the neighboorhord to sell art when I moved there. I met a local artist, Loey Seirling whom belonged to a group of artists in the San Francisco area whom showed their work weekly selling originals and prints. She invited me to jury int the group. They showed their work at different locations, Union Square, Washinton Square and the Marina. There were about 50 artists in the group showing their work weekly. I have to say they were one finest group of artist that I have ever showed with. Everyone was self published selling prints and originals. The venue was a great oppertunity to experience the pulse of the collectors from all over America.
I started making inexpensive prints of my art, color xeroxes from Kinkos, matting them and selling them. I got great feedback from the collectors what was hot and not. Then I self published my first giclee print on canvas. It was beautiful, however the inks were not up to parr with the longiviety. After a few years, they were and then I went into production, one print at a time creating different groups. The different groups kept my spontaniety and enthusiasm going.
Moving to Nothern California was very inspirational, everyone was high tech motivating me to learning the computor and advancing into corel Painter, photo Shop and web building.
