Many in public and private collections across the United States.
With an extensive background in both graphic and fine art, and degrees in Art History and Art Education, I possess a wide perspective from which to draw. I tend to pull inspiration from each, so that my work has references to various art styles and techniques that blend into one image.
Translated into a new perspective with layers of color and texture, the image I hope to share comes through in the end. The compositions are woven together producing art that is tapestry-like in its richness.
