A Contemporary Portrait & Figure Painter inspired by the Bliss, Horror, & Eroticism of Reality
I am a contemporary artist with strong passions, who reacts emotionally to life.
I believe my love for painting people stems from an abiding interest in the human condition. I also love interesting faces.
Life can be brutal! Life can be great!
My inspiration comes from a variety of sources, but mostly non-art sources. Such as the great French master of “Film Fantastique” Jean Rollin, the great French poet Arthur Rimbaud, the fiction of H.P Lovecraft, and the music of Yngwie Johan Malmsteen.

*Please note that this is not a blog. This site is to be a central hub of my art endeavors. Mostly for local or other contacts to view.
The emotional & atmospheric are important in everything I do.
I can’t really define my work.
It’s just spontaneous Art.
I’m quite messy about it. I like to keep it fast, fluid, dirty and vital while listening to very loud music!
Art keeps spiderwebs out of my brain!
I have a few different series of works I am trying to complete soon. What sets them apart are the limited (or no) colors Palette, plus the subject matter.
Most paintings on here are in Oil. A few are Acrylic. And I will even post some drawings at some point because they can be refreshing at times. Nothing is better than simplicity sometimes.
My plan is that there is no plan. It’s just Me, the Model, and the Music 100%. (note: as of 1-18-25 this site is currently under Reconstruction)
