Collections
Abstractions and non-representational; stream of conciousness is my favored method for theme development.
Images in Nature; interpreting the natural world around me.
3D Compositions; I am intrigued by the interaction of reflectivity, transparency, texture, and color.
NASA imagery; as I prepared for college, it was a close toss-up whether I should study design or astronomy, and I have never really let go of the latter.
Commuter art; inspired by, and dedicated, to fellow souls who have logged hundreds of thousands of miles to keep the global economy moving.
Portraiture; people and beasts.
RPG; another interest I combine with my art is gaming. These pieces were produced as visual aids in describing a scene.
