Wow, is that really colored pencil? That’s what everyone says when they see my work.

I knew I was on to something when I began drawing with colored pencils.  I’m a self-taught artist and I’ve tried everything from oil painting to screen printing.  Colored pencils, though, are perfect for drawing precise details in a realistic style.  My favorite subjects are simple everyday objects.  I use archival paper, layering many colors until they are vivid and saturated.

Visual concepts such as light and reflection are features of my work.   I am a juried member of the Best of Missouri Hands and the Greater St. Louis Art Association. I am also a member of the Colored Pencil Society of America. These organizations promote excellence in the fine arts.
