Artist Statement:
I specialize in painting
miniature oil paintings. My
subjects range from landscape
to portraits and everything in
between. My work is small
enough to fit into the average
dollhouse. Of course these
paintings are intended for the
above average dollhouse, but
you don't need a dollhouse to
display my tiny jewels. They
each have their own easel
(which I make myself), so you
can display them anywhere.
Every painting is a one of a
kind original.
I get my ideas from the world
around me. I love the
wilderness and go camping
alot. I love plants and
animals and I think above all
I love people and their many
different faces and shapes. I
am also a huge fan of figure
drawing and have a large
selection of nudes for sale.
People ask me all the time if
I ever paint big. My answer is
yes, I do paint larger
occasionally. Most of my full
size work is done on
commission and many of those
are portraits but sometimes I
will do a very large
landscape. I have even done a
few murals! You have to keep
challenging yourself. I also
teach miniature oil paintings
workshops and weekly art ...
