I am a primarily self-taught artist. I began drawing when I was about 8 and have drawn ever since. Several years ago I started oil painting, and have finally been creating some decent work. I also create computer art, do pen and ink drawings, and sculpture too. I recently began doing colored pencil work again after a long hiatus, and I'm very pleased with with the results. I love fantasy work because it allows me to visit worlds that could be, and stretch my imagination.
In my own work, I try to encourage the viewer to imagine what is going on in the picture. My goal is to get people to use their imagination. *Just as a warning to those who enter here, some images do contain mild nudity, so browse at your own risk!* I'm working on a web gallery of my own, but in the meantime, browse here at Elfwood, and over at CafePress. Several images have shops dedicated to that work. Go here!
Signed, limited edition prints are available of most of these works, (they show up at various fantasy/sci-fi cons around the country) or send me an email and I can ship directly to you. Feel free to drop me an e-mail with any questions, and happy browsing!


Interests
I enjoy all sorts of art, any medium, any kind of craft, and I like watching other artisans work. I like to read, and I vacillate between lighter fantasy fare, and deeper more complex brain-bending fantasy. I like theatre, and my secret desire is to get into set design.
Favorite Fantasy/Scifi Movies and TV Shows
Lord of the Rings is exquisite, and a true cinematic feat! And Lost is exactly the kind of brain-bending stuff I'm talking about.
Favorite Fantasy/Scifi Books
I like many books by Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Mercedes Lackey and Gene Wolfe
Favorite Music
Alt rock and world music-- the band that combines both: Janah

You have a lovely gallery, filled with beautiful and colourful images. What I like most about your fairies is that they have actual butterfly wings. It really adds to the images, in my opinion. Really nice work, well done!
