I create authentic one-of-a-kind original fine art nude/figurative artworks on specially prepared canvas and hand-grinded metal. Most are painted life-size and larger (and often twice life-size), and feature a contemporary approach to the time-honored figurative and art nude genre. My imagery busts out of traditional art forms leaving viewers appreciating their sensual nature, beauty and detail. My metal art has been compared to sculpture and holographic mediums - there's a dimensionality and motion visible in every artwork.

I've been painting most my life, and on metal as fine art since 2006. My figurative artworks on metal have a continual holographic illusion of changing with the light. I create this illusion with a metal scribe - one stroke a time. Mostly are mixed-media, combining color-shifting pigments, metal flakes and gold leaf. For me, they are a wonderful catharsis to paint.

All my metal paintings change appearance with the changing light. A painting viewed by morning sunrise looks entirely different at evening. Walk past them and they dance... like wall jewels. They take on a life of their own.

My latest series of larger-than-life art nudes on canvas are created with pearl acrylics on canvas. Like my metal creations, they change appearance with light.
