I work in the tradition of Bouguereau, Caravaggio, and Sargent, where I create a harmony between chiaroscuro and modern technique. Through these ideas, I reinforce the intelligence that underlies all human endeavors. With a bold and impassioned style, I create the feeling of order and devote myself to the greatest beauty in life.

Art Life Adventures

Kelli and I wrote about about our adventures together! It’s funny, romantic, and even has some international intrigue. Also, it’s short.

It was hot. Darn hot. Join us for tales of Shopska salad, Bulgarian cigarettes, summer heat (did we mention it was hot? ), Michelangelo, art supplies used as frisbees, almost-international incidents, and an evening in Roma. It’s a romantic, funny frolic through our Art Life Adventures.

“We all dream of things, but we never think those dreams could actually come true. We live in small towns, we have families and friends that don’t share our passions, we see things in a different way. We go through life, one day at a time and, every now and then, once upon a time, something changes. Something happens. It’s a little different and if you go with it, you might find yourself on an adventure. And, boy, if you’re really lucky, you might fall head-over-heels in love.”
