I am a self-taught artist who, by trial and error, has mastered the techniques of creating images in oils, watercolor, pen and ink, graphite, and charcoal. My work also includes photography and First Day Cover Cachets (FDC). I am particularly drawn to the natural world such as animal life, landscapes and seascapes. But when I find any subject interesting, I’ll not hesitate to paint, draw or photograph it.

I know an art piece is finished when I feel that I’ve captured the essence of the subject. The same applies to my digital photographs. I use the traditional “darkroom” techniques found in a computer-based photo-editing program if I want to enhance a photograph and will never otherwise alter my photographs. My FDC cachets will always compliment the newly issued stamp’s subject and not conflict with it.

I neither go into any fanciful explanations concerning my work nor do I give my art, photographs or cachets any fanciful titles. I just paint, draw and photograph subjects that I find pleasing and hope that the viewer finds the finished work equally so.
