About Me:
My ever evolving artistic style can be attributed to the many artists I have admired over the years. These artists include Renaissance's master Michelangelo Buonarroti, Surrealistic artist Salvador Dali and the Art Nouveau style of Alphonse Mucha. The book titled "Wonderworks Science Fiction & Fantasy Art" by Michael Whelan greatly influenced my decision to become an artist. Michael Whelan designed the cover art for numerous science fiction/fantasy books I like to read. Other art books in my collection include works by Michael Parks, Ilene Meyer, Rowena Morrill, Joseph Sheppard and John Pitre. Currently, my medium of choice are watercolor, pen and ink, water soluble oils, color pencil and computer graphics.
Hobbies:
