Fine Art Prints

Newly expanded exhibition space!

For the past two years, I have been offering Fine Art Prints of my original works. These prints are completely done in my studio, from the high resolution digital captures, to editing and all phases of the printing process. I only use the finest and most archival inks and substrates available. Each print is then signed by me, and receives a final UV protective coating.

I have just recently expanded my exhibition space in downtown Asheville, North Carolina at The Woolworth Walk. Located at 25 Haywood Street, Woolworth Walk is a very popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Look for my work there in Space 6, and I hope to soon have a link for online shopping as well.

Asheville Citizen-Times: Portfolio

"The Problem Solvers" oil on panel 16" x 20"

This group of workers, seemingly perplexed by what's in the hole, really caught my eye. The arrangement of lights and darks and those vivid colors made for an interesting arrangement. It's also featured in my profile in the January 11th edition of the Asheville Citizen-Times newspaper. To read the full article, click on the link below! Happy New Year to all, and thanks for following my blog!

"Road to East Beach"

"Road to East Beach" oil on panel 11" x 14"

I just returned from a wonderful two week painting expedition on St. Simons Island, one of the barrier islands on the coast of Georgia. Here's a plein-air painting of the road to East Beach as it crosses the marsh. This time of year, the marshes and water take on the jewel tones of gold and sapphire. My work can be seen on St. Simons Island at The Left Bank Art Gallery.
