As a painter, I believe that nothing evokes more emotion that the human form, and that is the subject I have chosen to focus most of my attention on.
I also believe that a great painting doesn't need to be explained. A painting or drawing stands on it own and should ignite feelings and emotions- without requiring an explanation to the viewer. It offers a momentary escape from the day!
ART IS FOR EVERYONE!

For Models: Modeling sessions are mostly a photo shoot, generally trying to get shots to paint from, and if things are flowing well, I may ask you to actually "sit" for me for a bit. (This IS NOT the rigid "posing" that most artists ask of their models). Typically the shoot is quite relaxed, hopefuly fun, and if successful, will have plenty of YOU and your personality all over it!
