New Painting: The Dancer
Hello everyone –
As we close out the year 2016, I wanted to share one more painting.
Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Charlotte on what was to become a new painting series. While that series is still being developed, I wanted to take a moment and create a painting based off one of the quieter moments from the session. There was something about the way Charlotte was posing, very poised and tranquil, and the way the backlighting illuminated her hair… I was such a striking visual, and I wanted to capture that on canvas as well.
Head on over to the Misc Paintings Gallery to see the finished painting.
This has been a phenomenal year for me, artistically. I can’t thank you all enough for all the words of support, encouragement, and enthusiasm. Despite everything else that’s happened this year, I find so much comfort knowing I’ve got amazing friends out there.
Wishing you all the very best. Here’s to an amazing 2017!

Acrylic Artist: The Portrait Redefined
Hello everyone –
I am pleased to announce that my artwork is the Featured Story in the current issue of Acrylic Artist Magazine. The magazine is in art stores now, and hitting Barnes & Noble next week, I believe. However, if you would like to order a copy online, the publisher has it available both in print and digital download formats.
My painting of “Danielle” is on the cover, and there is a 12 page article written by Michael Gormley that covers my work, my process and includes critical analysis of about a dozen paintings of mine.
I am truly humbled by how much space they have devoted to my work. To order a copy for yourself, click on the HERE to be directed to Acrylic Artist Magazine.
This is a *huge* opportunity for me, and I would like to thank each of you for always being so supportive.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Acrylic Artist Magazine also has an interview with me regarding how I approach some of my painting subjects, specifically random strangers on the street.

After a year, nearly 30 new paintings added!
Hello everyone –
I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since the last site update! A lot of things have happened during that time: I switched occupations, adjusted to living in a new city, and most importantly, got married! It’s been an amazing time, to say the least.
Even though things may have been quiet here on the site, that’s not to say I haven’t been hard at work behind the scenes. I am pleased to unveil close to 30 new paintings! Some are new portraits, some are works commissioned by the AARP, and there are some new figure paintings.
In addition, I am excited to unveil Childhood Revisited a new experimental painting series starring some old childhood friends. These are a joy to work on, and I hope you enjoy them as well.
As always, I would be grateful for any feedback you might have. Thank you!

One Man Show at the School of Visual Arts
Hello everyone –
I am pleased to announce I have installed a One Man Show at SVA, The School of Visual Arts, in New York City.
I created the Raw Sienna series of paintings in conjunction with the courses, “Paint Your Own Vision” with Seth Michael Forman and “Portrait Painting” with John Parks. The work is on display in the SVA exhibition space at 209 East 23rd Street until November 30th.
The Raw Sienna series has no determined boundary. The story occurring outside the canvas is equally as important as what is depicted within.
Each viewer will supply their own narrative to the works, their own thoughts on the location and events, whether viewing an individual painting or the interaction that forms between collected works on display.
As each new showcase of work can vary in layout and orientation, every viewing will yield a new and unexpected narrative.
As always, I would be grateful for any feedback you might have. Thank you!
