Artist Bio:

My art background since college developed into more commercial art such as airbrushing T-shirts, painting race cars, creating graphics for businesses, and commercial photography. With the coming of the computer and its ability to create images that were different and yet similar to other media. . I have worked in the advertising and marketing arena for or over 30 years and that industry has been a huge influence on my work.

Artist Statement:

My pictures are digitally manipulated and through a special process are inkjet printed on aluminum. The printing on aluminum allows the light to penetrate the ink and bounce back giving a subtle glowing effect. I still print on canvas and other media but the work with metal and other un common substrates is the direction for the future.
