“Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.”

~ John Ruskin

Beauty inspires me. I seek grace in the lines and form of the female figure—to me, it is the ultimate beauty. There is nothing I would rather paint, and my art reflects that classical ideal.

Enduring and timeless, my original paintings preserve and celebrate my beauty ideals and honor the female spirit’s grace, strength, and complexity.

I direct my creative energies at producing epic original fine art nude and figurative artworks on specially prepared canvas and hand-grinded metal. Most are painted life-size and more prominent, featuring a contemporary approach to the time-honored figurative and art nude genres. My imagery bursts out of traditional art forms, leaving viewers appreciating its beauty, detail, and sensual nature.

My current Pearl Series features beautiful muses and pearl illusions over a specially prepared canvas. These pieces include dynamic effects and techniques, often integrated into my metal creations. They also exhibit a level of detail in all of my canvas originals.

My metal paintings have been compared to sculpture and holographic mediums—dimensionality and motion are visible in every artwork. I carefully consider the interaction of form with the metal. Orchestrated metalworking techniques enhance the image’s message by directing the light in specific ways, creating a contemporary embrace of light and form.

My work uses imagery and materials in an inspired and intentional way. Along the way, I create manifestations of the unexpected, provoking the viewer to explore new and perhaps unexplored ideals of beauty—to see beyond the figure and interpret the piece’s more profound message.
