fine art

I have always thought that a piece of art is a story and the viewer is the story teller, telling
the story from their own beliefs and their own experiences of their life, it is when the piece and the viewer are one that the art comes to life and the real magic begins.



This is Dragons wake, a 11 x 17 done on paper in pin and ink, to bring home the power and the magic that is a dragon one must search for is soul





This is Called the Quest, a color pencil on 11 x 17 paper, this illustration was done as a idea cover for a viedo game that would have different ending based on how you played.


This is called the Archive, a tone and color pencil on 11 x 17 paper, this was a drawing done for a part of a story board of a comic book

This is called cougar morning, a 16 x 20 acrylic on canvas, to capture wild life in its essance is a diffacult thing to do, it is more then the enviroment they are in, more then their home it is their world the place where they belong, that brings out the character.



This is called Thinking of you, a 16 x 20 acrylic on canvas, some times adding a human element to a piece can bring the viewer closer to the art as well as them selves.

This is called woodcutters inn, a 16 x 20 acrylic on canvas, creating a piece that can capture the heart is a great thing, but if you can add a element of the mind to that then you bring a world that comes to life before the viewers eyes.

This was done in photoshop and illustrator, used for a bi-weekly children's magazine, in the effort the increase the interest in the science in kids today I came up with this where kids can read about space and start a new generation of dreamers for the new century.





This was done in illustrator to promote a salon , done for magazine and news paper, the illustration was done in adobe illustrator.


This was one of 3 public services ads about abuse, they were done in photoshop and illustrator, after playing with the layout of the ads and the wording I found the direct approch was a much better way to drive home the point of the subject matter, making people think and with hope ask questions about who and why.











these logs were done in illustrator for companies
and products
