TRADITIONAL ART
I have had a love for traditional art since I was a child. And that is about how long I have been practicing traditional art. I have dabbled in Sketching, Pen and Ink, Pastels, and even sculpting. However, my true love is Acrylic.
I have been practicing Acrylic painting since I was a young teenager. This section of my portfolio shows the best of my Acrylic work.
The Great Outer Space
During the 2020 pandemic, I enjoyed challenging myself with this piece. With dimensions at 24 inches by 48 inches, it is the largest acrylic painting I have ever done.
I always believed that outer space was one of God’s most fascinating creations. I used that fascination as inspiration for The Great Outer Space.
I enjoyed mixing the colors to create a transition from dark to light that is pleasing to the eye. I also took a little inspiration from Walt Disney by adding the two stars to give the eye something to focus on.
The result was my boldest painting yet and a new favorite to my portfolio.

A Lovers Dance
This is the newest addition to my portfolio. I have always enjoyed painting the abstract as shown in my other works. However, this was a work where you let your mind paint in the lines.
I enjoyed painting this because it is how I imagine dancing with the one you love. It is a time where the world around you just fades away and the two lovers are the only things in focus.

London Streets #1
This is one of my personal favorite paintings. I was inspired to paint London several years after I got to go see it for myself. Ever since I went to London I have had a love and fascination with that city.
This painting is among the most popular that I display. It is also the only one that I have copied. A client saw it in a gallery showing and commissioned me to copy it for her. Therefore, I painted London Streets #2 in 2019.

Lucy and the lampost
I have always been a fan of C. S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia. While attending college I took a class on the writings of C.S. Lewis and meet many other students that were fascinated with his work.
I painted Lucy and the Lampost, as a graduation gift, for one of those friends, who graduated in the class of 2017. I believe it shows the wonder that Lucy felt when entering Narnia but also shows the darkness and danger that was ever-present in this world at the time.

Among the Stars
I painted this during my freshman year of college. I grew up in the Michigan countryside and on a clear night, my father and I would go out and see the very bright Milky Way. Stargazing with him is one of my fondest childhood memories. However, when I moved to Cincinnati, to attend college, there were no stars to be found. So I painted Among the Stars as a way to cope with my homesickness. It has been a favorite addition to my portfolio ever since.
