Hello, I am a classically trained painter living in the wrong era. Or perhaps its the right era but I was born too late. In any case, what I paint many times feels like an Old World composition, with classical themes reminiscent of the Renaissance period of Art. Currently, I am working on using gold leaf in the background areas of selected paintings, as well as in the details in the garments and fabrics draped over the subjects. What I look for is a quality of light and shadow, the feeling of mood and dreams. I find and pose many of my models and take endless sketches and photographs to compliment and reference during the actual process of painting and composition. My travels take me all over the planet, so it has been my pleasure to meet and collaborate with some amazing people, from all walks of life. Thank you for dropping by my gallery, I hope you like some of the paintings and that some of them speak to you in a quiet and eloquent way. Yes, there are some fantasy and sci fi art as well. Im a fan of that genre to be sure.
