About

Whimsical, Realistic and Ethereal Art

I specialize in high quality work. I am very reliable and finish work on time as required. Traditional hand-painted designs, illustration, whimsical tattoo designs, stained glass paintings, greeting card/poster design and home decor designs are services offered.

I paint animals such as tropical birds/fish, puffins, flamingos, koala bears, pandas, parakeets, clownfish, dolphins, zebras, elephants and other wildlife.

The Art Nouveau style is another speciality of mine. It is one of my favorite art periods, and I use its rhythmic fluid lines, flowing design and the strength of its stylization in my own work.
