Welcome to my art website; I enjoy creating wildlife artwork and paintings covering a wide variety of other subjects ranging from landscapes to still life art.

On this website you’re going to find a wide representation of my work including different styles and techniques that I’ve used over the years.

After spending time on this website, I hope you walk away inspired to stay true to your own creative journey and your “art” because everyone has the ability to create regardless of their age, sex, race or location.

Where My Art Journey Started

My journey as an artist started by accident, I never thought about art until later in life and it’s been a large part of my life ever since.

The journey of an artist is one filled with adventure as we try new styles, techniques and mediums but it’s also something that some people give up on as they grow older because pressures of work and family get in the way.

Not me, I’ve kept creating artwork as I’ve grown older because it’s something that I can’t go a week without doing. It’s part of who I am and I enjoy drawing, painting and living a creative life.

Thankfully, the internet helps me to stay inspired. I enjoy watching video of old masters like Picasso, to staying up to date with the latest art in Paris, New York and Barcelona.

One Art Question I Get Asked A Lot

Being an artist is great but when people think of artists, they often think of them creating work in a nice studio like Picasso, with a cat at their feet, and an empty of bottle of wine nearby. I wish that were the case. Even though I do have a small studio space now, I’ve worked on my artwork everywhere over the years.

From small spaces, to big spaces, I’ve created artwork everywhere and have kept my walls covered with fine art.

Since I also work full time, my art time doesn’t usually start until the evening. When my kids are gaming, and we’ve long since finished dinner, I’m usually working on artwork, creating a new vision that I’ve been thinking about all day and can’t wait to get down onto canvas, paper or another medium.

Where My Art is Going

One thing that I’ve consistently tried to do over the last 10 years is to challenge myself to try different ideas, mediums and techniques with my artwork because I believe that art should be constantly changing while having the same unique brand in every painting, drawing or picture created.

Picasso was a great example of this, he consistently changed throughout his life and wasn’t afraid to try new things while other artists still held onto the style or techniques that helped them to become famous.

As I’ve gotten older, I enjoy the thrill of challenging myself in my art and if you view my work in my gallery, or instagram, you will see that it’s different that work that I produced early on in my life as an artist, while still being the same.

Yes life has gotten a little more challenging with work, children and aging but the reality is that I’m blessed to still be alive and creating artwork.

My Wife, My Partner In Creativity 

My wife Julie and I married in 2007, when we got together, I was a passionate artist and she was a poet, fast forward to the 2020’s and I’m still the same passionate artist, and my wife is now still a poet, but she’s also a crafter as well.

That’s right, she developed her own creativity and enjoys creating crafts that adorn the walls and shelves of our house along with my artwork as well..

Julie often inspires me with her creative vision and she inspires me by encouraging me to hang my work on the walls of our home since I’ve had the bad habit of keeping my work on boxes and portfolios over the years.

My vision for this website is to share my art with you, to connect with buyers and inspire others to be more creative in their lives too.
