Sometimes, a piece is thoughtfully derived from a collaboration within a trip of inspiration with a friend. Other times an art-directed photo shoot is needed to develop images for creating as an inspiration for artist interpretation.  Sometimes, it is necessary to visit the WWW.com to find inspiration and reference being careful to insure integrity.
At other times, an emotionally driven idea takes form on a blank canvas.

After considerable strategic planning, a direction is established and a blank canvas is hung on the board.
Each piece is executed through hand application of organic natural pastels.
And although I am perplexed at how often a viewer will fail to stop and enjoy the artistic license
used to convey an idea,emotion or experience;
The photorealistic quality of many of my pieces is a quality that I strive for. 

Each piece is an original done by my own hands.
Limited edition prints of select pieces are available.
