I have been a commercial illustrator for 30+ years, and I prefer to work with customers who commission me to draw or paint something

that is important to them. My first work out of college was a pen and ink series for Sports Illustrated. That was followed by a season of Gameday Magazine cover painting for Georgia Tech football. Sports have always been my first passion. I have done SEC football paint-ings for Alumni, Pro football and baseball, but I have also painted

landscapes, lake homes, children and, even 1950’s photos.

My own personal style is historically impressionistic and often expressionistic, utilizing loose, wet in wet and dry paint techniques.

I typically apply traditional mixed media techniques using oil paints, acrylics, watercolors, dyes, gauche and torn paper. I also enjoy draw-ing with a mix of charcoal, graphite and watercolor. I love to exper-iment and discover happy accidents. Recently I have been utiliz-ing combinations of traditional and digital painting processes. This allows me to produce multiple, high quality, giclee prints on canvas

or paper, substantially increasing avilability and reducing price.

I work primarily on custom projects by request. Museum quality, signed giclee prints are in the $150-300 range. Original paintings are

between $1000 and $2500, depending on complexity and subject matter. Please let me know if you are interested in a commissioned

piece. I would love to be considered your ‘go-to’ artist.
