Website under construction.

My work can also be found on that infamous (but fading fast) site myspace:

Oh, if I see one more gas mask photo, I am going to plotz!!!

I love art that is escapist in nature, imagery that can be surreal at times, and I strive to conjure a story inside the mind and heart.


Some of my art may have a flair for the more melancholy and dramatic, but it is like the old blues tunes from way down south in this country, many years ago. Those songs might have had pain in them, but there is a joy in venting it out and sharing our commonality with other human beings!

Life can be a hard road, through creativity and expression, it helps to turn that ragged path to something of our own design. Art without an audience is mere therapy for the creator, but art SHARED has the potential of becoming a thing of power and grace, a inspiring relic for whomever might choose that one long look or gaze... If you have a strong reaction to a work, postive or negative, then something is going on! A work of art is a gift from the constant few who choose to make the creative path their reason to live.

At the heart of it though, works of art are physical manifestations from the collective mind and soul of humanity, and the universe as well...No matter how base, or how beautiful! As you will see, like many artists before me, I celebrate the power of feminine energy and beauty. Lately however, I have begun to slowly shift, and I feel more abstract and varied work is on the way. With all that said up above, my palette may change to shine more visual light, who knows where my creativity may take me...

But for now, I hope you respond strongly with what you see.


If you want to make art with me, let me know I am all ears!

The two things I ask is that you be well rested before a shoot.  I mention this because I abhor a ton of make-up (on average). My skills for touch-up is getting better but I still have some work to do in this regard.  So if you could be well rested, and baggy eyes etc. can be avoided as much as possible, it would be appreciated. Being well rested helps the shoot in every way.

Also, if we decide that you are going to bring clothes/costumes for a shoot, please don't be half-assed.  I would rather postpone the shoot then having to "create" a costume digitally if that was not the plan. I am good in THAT regard, but if I am not planning on having to do this, it might affect my deadlines.

P.S.  I have a late night avant garde music show called "Tempest Broog" on 91.3 KXCI FM in Tucson, Az, and kxci.org on the web.  It is community radio so it is commercial free.  It is on Monday Mornings (Mountain Time) at 12 am.
