About Me
This Site is a gateway portal to the enormity that is my life. I am a classically trained Artist in Photography and Sculpture, but I also Paint, Write, Teach, Draw, Sew, and Tinker. I find I am that enigmatic, creative soul that regardless of the format I must create, collaborate, or help point the way for another creative soul.. towards that crystal pinnacle of an incandescent light bulb floating above our heads. You may find you don’t care for some of my work.. and that is completely OK with me.
I make pieces for clients and personal projects, AND I try my damnedest to fulfill my client’s desires within the limitations they set forth. The limited nature of portfolios does not encompass the scope of potential pieces I could create for you.
Please feel free to contact me with Inquiries or commissions. Look forward to hearing from you.
Take Care. Be Safe. & Live Well!
