I currently live in New York City. I am a professional working artist who has been selling portraits since the age of 12. I was born in the 60s and graduated from high school in the 80s. I sold my work at a gallery in Washington, DC for many years, but more recently my work has sold at the Leslie + Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art here in New York, as well as in private and public shows and on this website.

The artwork included on this sight ranges from my large scale detailed paintings to sketches, studies, portraits, self portraits, and nudes. Fortunately I grew up close to cities where I could visit some of the worlds greatest art museums. I have many interests with my art but my main focus is pretty much on people. Though some of my work is conceptual I will do a picture just for it's beauty, and nothing is more beautiful to me than the human form. I am a fan of much artwork which would not be considered conventionally beautiful, however I find many different kinds of unusual people to be fascinating  subjects.  I hope you enjoy the artwork.  I've included some descriptions of the inspiration behind different works.
