For the first time ever I am offering SOLSTICE as a limited-edition collector series, available on canvas and ready-to-hang in two sizes: Full-size 24″ x 72″ (limited edition of 95 signed and numbered) and two additional sizes as open editions.
Among my figurative paintings created within this last decade, BACKDRAFT is definitely among my most renowned.
Launched on October 23rd, 1996, this domain has undergone many design iterations and grown over the years, but its primary purpose has always been art and design.
Picture perfect paintings… or perfect picture paintings. Either way, I’m excited to share that my book project is moving along nicely.

Battle of the Strands 2013 is an amazing hair, makeup, and wardrobe competition showcasing original avant-garde looks from salon teams before a panel of industry icon judges. Now in its third season, they welcome Mexico and Puerto Rico as the newest competing teams.
This year’s 4th Annual Italian Sports Car Day was a blast! Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, and a collection of around 75 (+-) fantastic rides made for an impressive presentation. Pair that with great Italian food, and you’ve got an amazing day of relaxing and catching up with the Las Vegas exotic car crowd.
I was out earlier and someone wished me a “Season’s Greetings.” It was the first time this year that I’ve heard holiday cheers as we transition into cooler months and shorter days. I love this time of year. It’s a festive season ~ all about gratitude, blessing, and remembering the ones we love.
My favorite creative times are all about the time I enjoy at the easel. But a lot more goes into a painting than just easel time: photography, preparation, painting, the finished work – all that and more goes into creating a successful artwork that my collectors and I can be proud of for a lifetime.

The Barrett-Jackson Opening Night Party at Mandalay Bay rocked! The best part of these parties is catching up with friends and making new ones. Another highlight – I finally got a chance to see the all-new Corvette C7.
