Today I had the pleasure of meeting with a new client about a commissioned painting for her husband on the ocassion of their 40th anniversay. The painting itself will have to remain a mystery until after its completion, but I can tell you that it is going to be a fun, non-traditional double portrait. It [...]

The Eureka Springs Fall Art Fair was incredible! There is such a wonderful and diverse group of artists in this town it can quite overwhelming to see all their work in one place. I noticed many people who came for two days to try to take it all in. This is the second year of [...]

Here is what the back wall of my booth at the Fall Art Fair looks like with all the 12″ x 12″ paintings working together. Okay, it’s not lined up as perfectly as this since it’s hung on fabric, but the effect is pretty much the same. The fair is open today from 9am-6pm and [...]

This title cracks me up, but it honestly is all we discussed during this interview. I find the whole thing rather embarrasing and I’m not sure why since I am always fine showing my paintings to anyone and talking about why I paint and how I paint. The article tells how I’ve never had any [...]

Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
