As you browse the images in the portfolio, be aware of the prices that are noted in the subtitle information. There will be a (Sold) notification if the work is no longer available. If you are interested in purchasing a piece, please contact me through the "Contact" link at the top right of the page and we can discuss final price with shipping and method of payment. I am especially fond of Zelle but there are other methods available as well.
Also, if there is an image you might consider as a giclée print, even if the original painting is no longer available, I can accommodate that as well. I can handle framing and shipping, although the final price will depend on such things as choice of frame, weight and destination.
My Story
I remember as a child visiting my family in France and being awestruck by the cuts of meat in the butcher shop, not to mention the absolute wonder of the pasteries at the bakery. I was experiencing an alternative reality that was so redolent of scents and visual treats that it seems almost preordained that I would become an artist. And that was just the beginning. Many years later my path returned me to this land of wonders to study the great works of art, live in a different language and culture, and squeeze everything I could from the experience. Mission accomplished. I now live in the land of swamps, gators and mudders. Different but also very interesting. I invite you all to attempt to parse out the threads of these varied influences in my work. I guarantee a challenge. I hope you're up to it.
