Why I’m no longer selling with Artfinder.com There are many little issues with Artfinder that I find disagreeable. Like women artists preferential status over men. I don’t believe in favoritism. We all have the same opportunity and our work should stand on its merit. Their monitoring conversations between collectors and artists is annoying but I […]
My works are intended to enrich our everyday life. I make them with the intent that they be enjoyed for a lifetime and more, that they have a timeless quality and hold relevance. The natural kingdom after all has been depicted since the caveman days. Animals will always be a subject that holds significance and […]
Vangoart.co, a site focused on emerging artists and innovation around the way we find and access art has shut down. It was a bit of a shock when I typed the address in the search bar, as I was ready to list another artwork with them, and the site was suddenly gone. I am grateful […]

John Currin’s work has long been a favorite of mine. His painterly approach to brush work, the balance between exaggeration and realism, and the subject of the human form are part of what makes his work so attractive. I must warn the viewer though that pornography is a frequent subject of his, something I find […]
Sharing photos of ourselves online is so common place it’s probably a little odd that I have avoided it for so long, especially since I’m trying to let the world see my art. Up till now I have been very hesitant to share any photos of myself. Though it doesn’t make much sense to try […]
