How can I purchase artwork or prints?
I sometimes put paintings for sale on Ebay. Please click here to visit my Ebay site. Any other paintings or prints I have can be found on this website.

I can also paint from photographs. If you have a photo you would like me to paint, please click here for more information.


Can I purchase a frame from you for my painting or print?
Most of my paintings are done on stretched cotton duck or linen canvas with the painting continuing on all sides, so they don't require framing. They are ready to hang sans frame.

I have recently started painting on oil paper, and now offer frames. The frame I offer is classic black wood with glass and off-white 1.5" couble matting.


How are your paintings shipped?
I ship via FedEx and USPS. Each painting is shipped insured and packaged carefully. I have shipped hundreds of pieces and so far have had no problems.


Have any artists influenced you?
Certainly! I don't think I paint anything like them but my favorite artists are Norman Rockwell, Jack Vettriano, Vincent Van Gogh, Milton Avery and Georges Seurat.


Do you still do web design? What are your rates?
Yes, I still do web design. I have 10+ years experience. My rate is flat $100 per page. I've worked on sites for businesses of all kinds including: financial corporations, realtors, dance schools, vacation resorts, fish markets, personal chefs, restaurants, chiropractors, politicians, authors, and many others over the years. I have many references available upon request.


Why did you have a hiatus between 2005 and 2007?
I went through some medical issues beginning in 2005. All is well again! I'm excited to be able to paint again. I'm honestly just thrilled.

As a result of my medical issues, I have some optic nerve damage. My paintings may look a little different now, but I am finding ways to work around my vision loss.


Did you just make up all these questions or did people actually ask them?
Never ask that question again. :-)
