I believe that life is too short to spend it doing anything other than what you’re passionate about, so late last year I decided (with some encouragement from my wife) to throw myself into my art, and see what I can do.

I am attracted to the world of realism and (though I’m not there yet) hyper-realism, which is the creation of images that go beyond what we can see in a photograph, and influenced by the work of modern artists Denis Peterson, Paul Cadden, Armin Mersmann, and many others. I strive to create works that draw the viewer in with levels of detail and in doing so, establish a connection, understanding, and respect of the subject.
