About
My painting style invokes organic and anatomical forms that are aesthetically pleasing and provoke a meditative and emotional response. My figurative work incorporates social commentary and psychological studies of modern men and women.
I have my BFA in Painting and Drawing from Tyler School of Art and my MA from Univeristy of the Arts.
I am currently a Studio Professor at Penn State Brandywine teaching Intro to Painting and Intro to Drawing.
In the past 2 years, I have won 3 awards, completed 68 commissions, and showed in several galleries.
This year I was chosen as a Professional Artist Member at @mainlineartcenter
Commission Artwork
I have been doing commission portraits, pet portraits, houses, buildings, wedding dresses, abstracts, etc. for over 15 years and can work in any medium. Depending on the size, a commission drawing or painting typically takes 2 weeks to a month. I can paint or draw any subject matter you have in mind. Please contact me for more information.

Event Painting
I specialize in wedding event paintings. Typically, I arrive 4-6 hours before the start of the event and paint the background/room where the first dance will occur. I stay until the end of the bride and groom’s first dance and leave with a quick sketch of the bride and groom. I work with the photographer to capture the bride and groom dancing from my point of view. I complete the details of the bride and groom in my studio in the following weeks. Please contact me for more information.
