I am many people. Primarily I am a surrealist painter but my interests are never settled. Basically I constantly challenge myself with new ideas, new mediums, new directions. I love traditional media, oil paint one day, try watercolor another. The next project may be digital painting with Corel Painter. The next day is 3D, Zbrush, Lightwave, or Vue. It's a never ending uphill battle of learning and relearning. It's a fascinating journey that in turn pours out a facinating body of work.
The Prints

Digital paintings are created using Corel Painter and Photoshop. 3D works I use Lightwave 3D, Zbrush, and Vue. They can be reproduced in many ways, from traditional rag paper, to canvas, to what I am excited about, the contemporary metal print.
