I am a developer of my own technique of painting with segmented polymer resins on canvas, wood and slate. Other mixed media is also used. Foils, metal powders, resins, stones and re-claimed wood. I apply materials to canvas in multiple layers, allowing them to dry sequentially, mixing in pigments of choice and other media. My creations have a 3-D feel to them due to raised textures.
I call my technique Liquid Mosaic.

I am inspired by modern and postmodern architecture. For me the real pleasure comes from working with the materials and achieving each piece as perfectly as it is in my mind's eye. I want to create my art in a way that engages everyone, including children. I want the viewer to be encouraged to learn more about the elements of art and maybe move some of them to begin their own journey.
My formal training is in apparel design but when I picked up my first piece of silver I was smitten. I use the same principles in my jewelry as I did in designing apparel. Fit, drape, proportion, balance, texture and construction combine to become a unique piece of personal adornment. I use metals like I would use fabric but with very different tools. I use steel stamps and a one pound mallet to apply texture. I use hammers and mandrels to form the metal. The components are joined by soldering with a torch. The end result is a unique piece of wearable art.

I create my pieces using original photography I’ve taken from my travels across the north woods and American plains, the south, southwest and Latin America. I layer my images digitally and add color, texture, original illustrations and design. I augment some of my works with hand-sprayed stencils using printer ink pigment and a wide nozzle airbrush. On some pieces I pull different elements out of the design and layer these on acrylic panels. The panels stack on spacers and reveal a unique color separation of my artwork.
I apply the final montage onto an archival art board, coat it with gel medium and mount it into a handmade frame. Some pieces I frame simply, others I float off the mat board and I airbrush a textured gradient in the gutter. The result is a vibrant, layered work, soaked in color and graffitied with graphic images of iconic Americana and beyond.

A local tree trimming company gives me a constant supply of high-quality logs, that would otherwise be burned. These logs of oak, hickory, ash, maple, and walnut are then split to size using wedges and a sledge. This technique, as opposed to sawing, ensures straight wood fibers in my chairs providing uncompromising strength. The seats for traditional styles are hand carved from eastern white pine or tulip poplar while butternut, walnut and ambrosia maple are used for contemporary designs. One of my contributions to the craft is making a more room version of each chair to customize my chairs to the individual. I plan to build these chairs for the next 20 years and hope to pass these skills on to the next generation! Awards and Recognition I won the blue ribbon for Best in Show at the Naperville Fine Arts & Artisan Fair in 2021.

My artistic passion is to share the beauty, uniqueness and intricate detail of Europe. I strive to go beyond photographs that document a location to images that allow the viewer to subjectively feel and experience a scene (through light, texture, pattern, color and motion) as I did. To ensure the highest quality, I personally perform all the creative aspects of my work. Each limited-edition photograph is self-printed using archival pigment inks on heavyweight 100% cotton archival paper or canvas. This combination produces prints of great brilliance and detail that exceed museum standards for longevity. All artistic and technical decisions - from the moment the photograph is taken to the final printing process - are made to produce the most compelling and creative work-of-art.

My work is defined by a foundation of vibrant colors, movement and textures. Thought provoking work involving figures, energy and movement. I strive to bring the energy of life through in each piece along with the connection we as humans have with everything around us.
