About Me

I am an internationally collected, artist from the Midwest. I recently received a BA in Studio Art and completed a business/sales internship in Chicago, IL at the River East Art Center. I'm an oil painter who finds inspiration from the works of such artists as Paul Cezanne and Lucian Freud. My style is unique; it could be described as a mixture of surrealism and impressionism with a basis in photo realism. I was focusing my time in creating contemporary abstract styled pieces to suit the consumer and have sold many of these pieces on Ebay auctions. In addition I have done many commissioned portraits and landscapes for customers in the past and am always prepared for business. I have, however, moved back to my own style of impressionism in which I have a passion for and starting a large collection in this particular genre. My aim is to make a noteworthy impact on the Art Industry and share the affluence with those who helped me.
I am exhibiting several of my pieces in my photos page. I have many pieces for sale with framing options. Contact me for a price-list. PayPal payment option for your convenience. Free-Shipping. Shipped Worldwide through UPS. Certificates of Authenticity provided w/ purchases.
