Sculptural elements created by applying different materials onto the surface of the canvas allow the artwork to expand into the room.

I add organic elements to my paintings such as leaves, twigs, bark and stones, and the paintings come alive with imagery generated by the play of light and shade. Artworks literally change throughout the day as light changes within a room. You can't paint these effects; you must sculpt them in.

The images are unforgettable in more than one way.

The paintings above are displayed against photos of the areas from which my inspiration is drawn. California's Anza-Borrego desert and the misty coastal Redwood forests play host to these two images. This fine art is not intended to be a photographic reproduction of the subjects, but rather a visual narrative of a journey beyond reality.

"Desert Rose", a painting I did which features an old truck lost in the desert sands is seen through a screen of genuine dry desert foliage, much as you would come upon a rare treasure while hiking through the dunes. Check it out. While I don't produce all of my paintings with a dimensional twist, the images that feature these effects may surprise you.

How dimensional is this artwork?

To get the best effect of this artwork, you should see them in person. Since this is not always possible, I have included several images from different perspectives to portray what I'm referring to. "Mesquite", "Old Lace" and "BneepBneep" are examples of these.

You won't see artwork like this anywhere else in the world.

Collectors world-wide recognize how unique this artwork really is. My pictures hang in beautiful homes from Samoa to Japan and across the United States. If you want to add the "Wow" to your art collection, spend some time in my galleries by clicking on the images above.
