These days I work in all sorts of media. Mostly some sort of painting. In my work, I explore many genres including portraiture, figure painting and illustration. In my most recent series of landscapes titled, Internal Landscapes, I explore the eerie, peaceful, chaotic and sometimes intimidating nature of the dense forests of my home region in the southern U.S. and other places. 

​

I also am developing a body of work titled “Internal Dialogue” where I explore human existence as a multi layered entity. More to come on that soon.

​

Plein-air painting is also a passion of mine. Whenever the weather permits, and sometimes not, you can find me out in natural areas taking in scenery with my omni present painting box I made from an old wine crate.
