All he wanted  to be is a truly devoted artist and to draw and paint portraits and other art  works and fined his own way in life.

" I work in oil for my paintings, to give you not only the finest quality, but also the longest lasting type of portraits available.  Your complete satisfaction of the portrait is guaranteed!
People always have been a my favorite subject matter for my original art work. I especially love the challenge of capturing each ones unique features and personality in a custom portrait . I primarily focus my commissioned art on children where I planing to publish in book form.
Oil paintings are done on stretched archival canvas and illustration board.  Each custom portrait is ready to be framed to last for generations."
