placed 1st in the Bourbonnais Friendship Festival, 2003 Art Show



Classically trained in fine art, I specialize in oil painted realism, my favorite subject being portraiture. Painting using many styles of the old masters, I have searched the world for the best techniques and materials to create unique painted experiences.

If you have been looking for unique gift ideas for Christmas, birthdays, Valentines day, or that perfect anniversary gift and have been mulling over whether you wish to have an oil painted portrait created, you are in the right place. Your family will enjoy a painting such I can produce for you, with your exacting standards for many generations to come, and by you as a great lifetime investment.

Comments or questions are welcome.
