What’s new?
Finally! I have a new gallery of Henes and Red Arrow parks posted on my DeviantART page, which are all available for print. It features everything those two local parks are known for: serene shorelines, vibrant ice shoves, mysterious cairns and more. Click the link below to check it out.
Welcome.
This site showcases my progression in the world of art, whether that’s art, design, photography or writing, or whatever else I experiment with and decide to pursue.
At 39 years old, I continue to be a work in progress personally and with my art. Honestly, what fun is life if you can’t continue to grow and push yourself to be, well, a better … you?
Feel free to take some time to peruse my little oasis on the web, as well as my social media accounts for inspiration or to relax. Come back to look for growth and rebuilding. Subscribe to my social media accounts for regular updates. Contact me with any questions or commission ideas you may have.
And most of all, have fun!
