I earned my MFA in painting from University of Illinois 1990. Since then, I have been painting while I serve as a stay-at-home dad. I am interested in the relationship between photographic and hand-painted imagery in the perception of visual information.

Simply beautiful. Like you I enjoy combining photography with other forms of art. I think you did an amazing job here. This captures how gorgeous, huge, and lonely the woods can be when you stand in it quietly. Again- great job!

As an displaced Ohioan now living in the south, your artwork brings back memories of the amazing colors of fall in Ohio. The second painting in particular really evokes the beauty of the season.
very nice!

Beautiful. Do you sell your work? Where can we buy it?

its almost too much like a painting it doesnt show any individuality if you made somthing stick out that you wouldnt usually see it would make your paintings more expressive.

I’m sorry to be presumptious. I’m an old woman, so please indulge me a moment. I usually do not ‘read into’ artwork, but your work, while strong and beautiful, emanates to me an incredible loneliness and confusion. I just want to tell you that everything will be alright.

These are amazing, at first glance they look like real photographs. You are an amazing artist, and if you sell them I would be more than happy to purchase one in due time.

I really like these. It was best to look on your website and see bigger versions of your paintings, and I think they are magnificent. At first, I thought they were photographs, but when I realized they were paintings they jumped to a whole new level and made me think about visual perceptions. Excellent.

Greetings from Cincinnati! I’m right around the corner from you.
I think these are exquisite. I’ve always found peace in the woods and the second painting especially captures that.I gather the first is of a different mood.
I love artwork that stretches beyond the canvas.
