Many thanks to the City of Burien for installing a Utility Box Mural based on one of my paintings 'Contemplation, in Yellow' featuring a meditative self-reflective coffee-drinking elephant. I mean, why not? :)
This public art is  located at the corner of 122nd and Ambaum in Burien WA.

See the FALL 2018 Art Catalog for currently available originals, with prices.

I host a monthly exhibition of original art in my studio-gallery in Pioneer Square. The theme for October is Halloween and features my popular Lil' Reaper character (and friends). Come see lots of new paintings, including a giant 5'x5' Lil' Reaper painting that you can bid on:

So. Many. Reapers!

I am delighted to unveil my Lil' Reaper Playing Card deck featuring 54 playing cards each with a unique lil' reaper image based on my paintings and prints.

Sometimes, just to exercise different muscles, I do a different genre of painting. Here are some Abstract Landscapes i recently completed, available from the Miner in Art Gallery in Roslyn, WA. These Sunset paintings are 'impressionist-expressionist' art. They are not renditions of actual sunsets, but more about how the sunsets feel, and about exploring color. Each painting is 12"x12" acrylic on wood and framed in a antique-gold frame.

As of July 2018, my artist studio has moved to Seattle's historic Pioneer Square neighborhood (downtown Seattle) in the TK Artist Building. The studios will be open to the public on First Thursday evenings for Art Walk and most Second Saturdays. In addition to working in my studio, I will be exhibiting a different show of original art every month so please come visit!

The City of Kent recently commissioned me to create a utility-box mural as part of a City Art Project to beautify the city and also reduce graffiti. 

The utility-box mural is located on the Interurban trail near the South Kent Park and Ride.
Here is what it looked like before this project:

And here is what it looks like now, so yes, beautification projects like this really work :) :

Some of you may recognize this design. It is based off my oil painting 'The Great Escape' from 2017:
